Calendar groups enable users to schedule meetings with other
users and resources. An Administrator creates calendar groups to be used by
everyone in the calendar network. These groups are made up of users and resources.
Groups can include members on any remote node. There are four
types of groups:
Private groups:
are available only to users who created the groups
are created and modified by users using the Group Management
dialog box of a calendar client
are created by all users of calendar because they have
the appropriate rights
Members-only groups:
are available only to members of the group
are created and modified by users in the Group Management
dialog box of a calendar client
are created by all users because they possess the relevant
rights
Public groups:
are available to all users· are created, modified,
and deleted by a user in the group as they have rights to the public group
are owned exclusively and cannot be transferred
can be created and modified only by users who have been
granted the administrative rights to do so
Administrative groups:
are available to all users
are owned by the SYSOP, not the users who create them
can be created and modified only by users who have been
granted administrative rights
Only users who create the groups can manage the private, public,
and members-only groups by using their Calendar client. Administrators manage
the administrative groups be managed by using the group utility unigroup or
the Calendar Administrator client.The server administrator can give special
group administration rights to calendar users.
NOTE:
Oracle does not recommend the use of public groups. Public
groups are supported only as a legacy of previous versions.
Administrative groups offer all of the characteristics
of public groups and the added advantage that ownership of the groups can
be shared and transferred among users possessing the necessary administrative
rights.
