  Permission issue for events in Calendar (6 posts)

• Steve Scheier said 1 year, 5 months ago:

  Hello, I am a technician for the University of Montana. I am the lead tech of the Griztech IT department and I am the administrator of our Sharepoint Portal. I have had a strange issue crop up recently. I have created a specific Sharepoint site for our Chemistry department so that they can schedule times for faculty and staff to use a specific room. With this in mind I created a Calendar for them and added users from our Active Directory domain as members who can add events. I changed the permissions for the members so that they can only edit their own event. I also added one of the admins of the Chemistry department as an Owner of that site. Obviously as the Owner of the entire Portal, I have full control over all the sites in the Portal.
  My issue stems from the fact that the Chem Admin and I are unable to delete any of the events that get added. We can view the events but the top buttons only read "New Item," "Alert Me," and "Export Event." However, there are a few events that also have the "Edit Item" button. In addition, there are several events which when clicked on take me to the "ERROR, An unexpected error has occured" screen. I have a feeling that this is a permission issue, however I have checked the permissions and I have full control. I was thinking that there is some conflict between permissions but I have yet to determine how I would discover such a conflict.

  Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Can you replicate the symptoms in a new calendar list?

• Steve Scheier said 1 year, 5 months ago:

  Yes, I actually have created calendar lists on all of my other sub-sites underneath my Portal and they have the same issue. I have even created a separate site in order to test and it shows the same symptoms. Perhaps some permission issue on the server itself?

  It does seem permission related. I'd try resetting list permissions, re-inheriting list/site permissions, etc. until you find the problem. I can't replicate your symptom on my system.

  As far as permissions of the sites go, all of my sites inherit permissions from the parent site. The parent site has the permissions exactly how I would like them set up, however, even on the parent site, I have the same symptoms in the Calendar list. How does one go about resetting the permissions for a specific list?

  You can manage the permissions from your list's 'list settings' page. If you have unique permissions on the list, re-inherit from the parent. If you are already inheriting and having the problem you can experiment by breaking inheritance and setting unique permissions. Try something radical like giving everyone (Visitors) full control and see if the symptom changes.
