Stake Exec Sec.
The calendar starts loading with the spinning wheel. You can see the November calendar (blank) in the background. Then it was just failing to load and went to the white screen. I seem to be in a working state at the moment, it just takes a long time for the initial load, and then about 5 seconds for the month to change.
I see your earlier comment with your calling listed, I am sorry to have asked you again. I hope the calendar starts working perfectly soon!

I'm just trying to see what callings may be able to see the calendar. I am the Stake Building Scheduler as well as the Ward Building Scheduler and I can't see the Calendar. My husband is the Ward Clerk and he can see it, but he can't do any Stake Scheduling for me.
[/quote]

I too have same question. I am stake building scheduler and soon to be my ward building scheduler. I am wondering if there is a chart
somewhere that shows the "typical" access to the calendar granted by "calling". I realize this can be edited by someone with rights but trying to figure out basically what the starting point is. Is there somewhere to go to see what access is granted by callings? Have had Bishops
tell me they schedule because someone doesn't have rights to schedule. I say "speak to ward clerk for access".

ALSO with the new way YM organized with Bishop as authority and no secretary. Wondering if automatic rights given to "whom" that can do the scheduling for YM (instead of bishop).

Thanks so much for your help.

This is reply to casper684's comment. For some reason, his comment didn't pop up like it usually has in the past.

Anyway, I haven't ever seen a chart showing who has access to what calendars, but from all of my experience with being a Website Administrator and a Building Scheduler, for both the Stake and the Ward, everyone in the Bishopric of a Ward or a Branch Presidency for a Branch, can do calendaring/scheduling on any of their Ward/Branch Calendars. Same with the Stake Presidency, they can calendar/schedule on any of the Stake Calendars. For the Stake and Ward Organizations, all of the Presidents, Counselors and I think that the Secretaries are all able to schedule/calendar for their respective Stake or Ward Callings too. They can not schedule/calendar for any other Organization, just their own Organization. So RS calendars/schedules for RS, YW schedules/calendars for YW, etc. I am not sure what is going on with the YM, but if you have a designated Building Scheduler, they should be able to schedule/calendar for the YM though too.

I hope this helps you.

A long time ago there was a default profile, but I don't know if that's documented anywhere.

The Bishopric, Executive Secretary, Clerks and Ward website administrators have admin rights to the Ward Calendar. Everything beyond that is custom for each ward.

Note: "Building schedulers are responsible for overseeing events related to their assigned location, but they do not schedule stake or ward events." At a minum, each unit should be doing their own scheduling.

See Building Schedulers for details. More information on the calendar can be found at that link by expanding "Calendar" in the left column.

With regards to this part:
With the new way YM Quorums organized with Bishop as authority and no secretary. Wondering if automatic rights given to "whom" that can do the scheduling for YM (instead of bishop)? In our stake category entitled _______ Quorum Adult Leader and the actual calling is called P, D or T Quorum Specialist. I am not sure if this is a existing standard position or a created custom position.

Anyone answer that one??

Building schedulers do not "schedule" events just edit existing entries. Ok with exception of "location" based events like carpet cleaning OR if they have multiple callings that offer additional rights.

On 6-4-2020 From: Priesthood and Family Department (1-801-240-2134) "the existing calling “Website Administrator” has been renamed “Communication Specialist.” A person holding the communication specialist calling may now email information to ward members by using the “Send a Message” function under “Applications” in Leader and Clerk Resources (LCR).
17752 My note: Appears to it's only good for sending messages thru LCR.

I miss the access that was granted Ward Website Administrators. Calendar has changed much thru the years.


Thank you Julie

With the changes to the YM organization, the Bishop now fills the exact role the YM President previously occupied, and a Bishop's primary responsibility is to the children and youth in the Ward. So instead of there being a YM President scheduling events, this responsibility falls to the Bishop, who has his Counselors, Clerks and Executive Secretary that can offload calendaring from him if desired. Any specialists would not have any automatic rights given to them, regardless of whether they were custom callings or not.

Thank you that is very helpful info. Spoke with Ward Clerk and Executive Secretary and they do not have such access. There is no longer a "ward website administrator". So guess I have to go further up the chain for an administrator to give necessary access. Fairly new unit that may not have been set up correctly originally so have to look into that.

That's curious. Since their calling gives them calendar admin rights, I'm surprised they can't schedule things in the YM calendar.

The ability for units to adjust the permissions to the calendar has not come back yet since the upgrade to 4.0. It will, but it's not there yet. Requests for those kinds of changes have to be sent off to the developers via the "Feedback" link.

Is the ability for units to CREATE new calendars functioning?

Currently, I only see the ability to rename or delete calendars.

I don't see the ability to set rights, which is probably why creating calendars is not there either.
