permission_modify

Introduction

Sometimes you want your reservations editable for a group of users without granting admin rights.

With the permission_modifiy attribute you can set for each event a group of users which is allowed to modify it.

How to enable

• Open the reservation type of your choice in the eventtype-editor (right click on the event-type in the left tree, when admin)
• Add a new attribute with the key permission_modify .
• Make the attribute an category atrribute.
• Select the users-category as root type. Alternativly you can create a subcategory containing all the user groups you want to be selectable as event editors.
• Choose a group as default-value. Users who belong to this group can edit the event. (if not changed by the user who creates an event)
• If you don't want the user who creates the event to change the group, mark the attribute invisible.
• Save the reservation type.
• To grant editing rights to the users assign them to the appropriate user-groups or the default-group.

How to use

• When creating a new event the user can now change the group that can modify the event. If the admin selected not_visible the default group is used.
• Add and remove users to the user groups to reassing permissions to edit.
