Full time missionary access to calendar

This is a calendar question. I didn't seem to find a good place for this topic other than an old locked topic entitled "calender permissions for full time missionaries".
I am wondering if full time missionaries have access to the calendar for the stake that they are in.
Missionaries are listed on the assigned unit list but when they tried to access calendar all they
got was the one moment please. I tried this with two different sets of missionaries and they both
got same error message. As stake center building scheduler I get calls from FT missionaries all the time
want to reserve the building for basketball with non members. Are they not able to look on the calendar
and see if it is available?

Yes, we are working on this problem. Our calendar release deployed this week seemed to have caused this. They should be able to see the calendars for their assigned proselyting units.

Odd, my prior post seems to have disappeared.

One caution I'd have. No one should be working under the assumption that "if there's nothing, then I can use it". There's too many ways that can go wrong. Not the least of which is two people working under the same idea.

Not everyone can see all the events. The only definitive calendar is the location calendar. But it's not visible outside of the website. (Nothing in the sync or Member Tools.) Just because they don't see anything doesn't mean it's really available. Only if they schedule their event are they assured it's really available. Missionaries may need the help of the Ward Mission Leader to schedule, as I don't see a way to add the full-time missionaries as an editor.

So I just want to get this straight. They should be able to look on tools for assigned units but to see entire "location" would need to go to churchofjesuschrist.org and select location they are interested in, correct? In looking at their tools phone calendar it appears that they also can see their home unit? I just want them to be able to verify that the building is even available before they call me to schedule.

Right now, for a lot of full-time missionaries, the churchofjesuschrist.org calendar just hangs as it tried to load it. We are working on it.

Will you reply when fixed or should I just keep asking missionaries?

Thank you. It appears that after checking with full-time missionaries in two stakes the problem has been fixed. Now to just make sure they know it is available. Have discussed with the AP's and Zone Leaders to get the word out.
