Delegation of single calendars

[Maximilian Reiß-2]

Hi,

is there any way (command line tool?) to delegate a single calendar  
from an account to somebody else (read or read/write)?

Looking at iCal client and the command line tool I only see  
possibilities to delegate a whole account to somebody.

Thanks,
Max

I don't think that's possible. However, once you've enabled  
delegation, the end-user should be able to mark events as private  
where only the free-busy will be shown to chosen delegates.

Hope this helps,

Ryan

Hi Ryan,

thank you very much for your answer.

The private event feature has the issue that the user would need to  
check it every time and it feels a bit like "trying to improve the  
symptoms instead of curing the cause".
Just think of the quite common "Boss and his secretary" scenario. The  
Boss surely wants go grant the secretary access to some calendars for  
appointment management but pretty sure not to all calendars. Also she/
he does not want to make sure not to forget to press "private event"  
each time she/he sets up an event or gets an event.

A semi solution could be to have private calendars but I think there  
is no such feature either in calendarserver.

Regards,
Max

Interesting.  Is it possible for the boss to have two accounts on the  
iCal server (one private, one delegated), adding them both in iCal  
client so he can access them simultaneously?

Stroller.

That's certainly possible, depending on your authentication structure.  
For me, we're tied into our central authentication service so the user  
would only have the ONE account.

If you have more control over your accounts, there's no reason not to  
go that route, iCal will just treat them as separate calendars.
