Topic: Search - for PostOwn group user

In the Search for PostOwn group user, why is there a "User Group" drop down? with all user groups being displayed? Is this by design that a PostOwn user can search for all events from anyone? Even marked private?

Re: Search - for PostOwn group user

Hi there,
On the Search page, for users who have at least read access to the calendar, there is no limitation on User Group (note: this is the group to which the event owner belongs), so in other words: a user with read access can search the events of all users. However . . . .
• A user can never search a private event of another user (if you can, please give me details).
• But there can be limitations on event categories: For each User Group it can be specified which event categories can be seen and be searched by the users in this group and in which categories they can create events. Have a look at the User Groups page and edit a group!
IMPORTANT: The categories that can be seen and to which events can be added is always the sum of categories that can be seen (or added) by the Public User And the categories specified for the group to which the user belongs! (because giving the Public (not logged in) user more rights than a logged in user doesn't make sense).

I hope it is clear and it helps wink
Roel
