Overview
The Calendar Administrator is an online server management
tool that allows Administrators to manage groups, user accounts, resources,
event calendars, and holidays in the calendar server database.
Event calendars are similar to user accounts, but represent
schedules such as sports matches, concerts, or other events that may be of interest
to your user base. The administrative controls and functionality of resource
management are also similar to those of user management. An event calendar can
be accessed by signing in with the event calendar account password using the
Oracle Calendar Desktop Client.
The focus of this tutorial is to illustrate how to manage Oracle
Calendar event calendar accounts.
Max Hogan the Business Administrator is responsible to
manage all event calendar accounts in Oracle Calendar. He must create, modify,
and delete event calendar accounts, in addition to managing rights given to
users for these accounts.
As an Administrator you can grant to a user, designate
access to an event calendar. When you assign a designate user to an event calendar,
they can open the event calendar's agenda to add, delete, or modify entries.
Designate rights can be set according to the default event calendar profile
file (eventcal.ini) at the time the event calendar is added to the node.
You can grant designate access rights by using the
Oracle Calendar Administrator Web GUI, or by using a command line utility.

An event calendar is an administrative calendar account which exists to inform
your user base about upcoming events that may be of interest to them. Users
have read-only access to the events created in event calendars. However, using
the Oracle Calendar Web client, users may copy events and appointments from
the event calendar into their own calendars. Administrators or users who have
been given special administrative rights may create event calendars.
The administrative controls and functionality of resource management are also
similar to those of user management. An event calendar can be accessed by signing
in with the event calendar account password using the Oracle Calendar Desktop
Client.
