Sharing and delegating calendars
Rights can be delegated to all domain users (public share) or to specific users only.
Possible rights levels are:
"Can see my events": the user can view this calendar and invite you. Private events will be shown as "private" instead of the title and with no other details but the date, time and duration.
"Can update my events": in addition to the rights above, the user can accept and modify your events.
"Can update my events and manage sharings": complete sharing of the calendar: in addition to the rights above, the user is able to grant share rights on your calendar and see or edit details of private events.
Delegations can either be set by administrators, in the user management section of their admin console, or by users themselves.
Multi-calendar display
You must have at least viewing or editing rights on the events in the calendar you want to display.
To display a calendar:
- in the "Add a calendar" text box, type the name of the user you are looking for.
Autocomplete suggests users' names as you type. - Select the name you are looking for in the list of suggestions:
- The calendar is then shown in a different color to those already displayed:
| Info |
|---|
| title | Group-specific rules |
|---|
|
- For groups, autocomplete works with the first characters of the group's name.
- If you select a group, the calendars of the group's members who have shared their calendar with you will be displayed.
- If one or several users share their calendar(s) with a group, all group members will be able to see this calendar.

To hide a calendar temporarily, click its user in the list. This user will then be grayed out and related events will no longer be visible:
| Ancre |
|---|
| calendar-colors |
|---|
| calendar-colors |
|---|
|
To change a calendar's color:
With BlueMind v.3.5, you can customize calendar display colors and assign colors to specific users.
To do this, unfold the menu by clicking the color icon at the bottom of the list of calendars shown and select a color:
For a greater choice of colors, click "Choose a personalized color..." to display the color palette:
| Astuce |
|---|
The color is automatically saved for this calendar, it will be used again in future sessions and can be modified. |
To remove a calendar's custom display, click the color icon at the end of the row in the list of displayed calendars to open the menu and click "Remove":
Domain calendars
Administrators can create domain calendars, which are calendars shared between one or several users, as read-only or read and write depending on their privilege level.
Users with reading privileges are able to access a domain calendar in the same way as they would a user's calendar: through the main view (see above) or through their subscriptions page (see Calendar Preferences ).
Sharing externally
The BlueMind calendar can be shared externally through a public address or a private address that allows private events to be viewed.
| Info |
|---|
Publicly shared calendars allows people see the full details of public events and a "busy" status only for private events. Privately shared calendars, on the other hand, allows all the details of private events to be viewed. |
To do this:
- go to the preferences manager > Calendar section > "Sharings" tab
- in the drop-down list at the top of the page, select the calendar you want to share
- check the box for how you want to share it (public or private):
- click Save to confirm
The address specified can then be forwarded to people outside BlueMind for them to synchronize their user calendar with their ICS-compatible calendar.
