Reading or editing the calendar

  • If registered users open your map with editing rights, they can also enter events in the calendar.
  • This makes collaborative use of different calendars possible.
  • If users only have read access rights, they also only have read access to the calendar. Only the map owner can make changes to the calendar at any time.
  • Anonymous users cannot edit the calendar. Every user must be logged in.
