That is interesting I just added myself to a private calendar using both my standard callings and my name with full edit/view rights. I did a test and could add/edit/view/delete with no problem.

If the original post is referring to a private calendar, then yes, the easiest way to get your permissions restored for that calendar is to have another editor add you back in.
Just viewed my wife calendar and all the private events are grayed out and show title "private event". Just as it should be.Gary_Miller wrote:aebrown wrote:I did find something out though. When I added a event to the Private calendar sometimes it would post the "title" of the event in week view other times it would just post "Private event". I tried several calendars with several different event and received sporadic responses.
Are you sure that the private calendar you added yourself to was one you didn't already have rights to?Gary_Miller wrote:That is interesting I just added myself to a private calendar using both my standard callings and my name with full edit/view rights.

This is the problem you are not a calendar administrator only a calendar editor. You will have to have an administrator and you back in as an editor. Better yet have them update you calling to website administrator in MLS and then you will have the admin rights by default, since you are doing the calling.BlairEsplin wrote:I am not the ward website administrator but my name, not calling, is on all the public calendars for viewing and editing. I am our ward tech specialist.
This is the problem you are not a calendar administrator only a calendar editor. You will have to have an administator and you back in as an editor. Better yet have them update you calling to website administrator in MLS and then you will have the admin rights by default. Our ward is not currently using the calendar and I am trying to train the leaders and members how to use the calendar. At any rate I deleted myself from the Elders Quorum calendar and now I can't get back there. I suppose I will have to get a member of the presidency to log on and add me back. I will of course have to help them do this because, like I said, they don't know how to use it.
Or just have them add you as a calendar administrator by name, if they only have you working on the calendar.Gary_Miller wrote: This is the problem you are not a calendar administrator only a calendar editor.

I was the one who originally created the calendar. However, I have never had the editor rights.aebrown wrote:I'm wondering because I just did a test and verified that I have no rights to add myself (or anyone else, for that matter) to a private calendar that someone else created and to which I have not been added as an editor. That's exactly how it should work.
Could be a problem. Because I tried two other calendars where I did not have editor rights to and was able to add/edit/view/delete events. I was also the one who created these calendars.aebrown wrote:If it were to work the way you described, then the "private" calendar wouldn't really be private -- any administrator could gain access to it.
Yes.BlairEsplin wrote:Thanks for the replies. Can a member of the quorum presidency add me back on to the quorum calendar (the presidency is on the edit list because of their calling), or would an administrator have to do it?
I would suggest that if you are going to be doing any training that you get added as an administrator. I would also suggest you review the calendar helps as they will help you greatly in understanding the calendar.BlairEsplin wrote: I would also have to show the website administrator what to do as he also know nothing about the calendar.
Thanks for the advice. I thought I was already listed as an administrator, but I guess I wasn't. I was an administrator on the old ward website and calendar and I tried to get it going many years ago. There isn't much cooperation from leaders and ward members as ours is a ward with a lot of elderly members and poor members so the use of computers and mobile devices is not wide spread. However smart phones, iPads etc. are starting to become more common so I am making a new effort to get things going.Gary_Miller wrote: I would suggest that if you are going to be doing any training that you get added as an administrator.
