Understand Meetings Tool Rights

Classic View: System Administration > User Security > Users/User Groups > Tool Rights

There are two sets of tool rights that determine access to the Meetings tool.

The tool rights in the Counseling module give users RWAD rights to any meetings that user owns and Read rights to any meetings to which the user is invited. This tool right is all or nothing, assigning any rights provides Read/Write/Add/Delete rights to any meetings that user created, and Read rights to any meetings in which that user is a Participant. If you only have these rights, you are automatically the Owner of any meetings you create.

The tool rights in the System Administration module gives users Meetings Administrator rights, Read/Write/Add/Delete rights to all meetings in the calendars the user also has rights to. Users with administrative rights also need rights to the Meetings tool in Counseling.

  • If you have these rights, an Owner fields displays in the meeting editor, which allows you to schedule meetings for other users. If you have less than Add rights to Meetings Administrator, you can see the Owner field but not modify it. Add rights and above allow you to modify the Owner of a meeting to any user with a Counseling District Assignment.
  • Meetings Administrator rights also give you access to Full Print options for any meeting, not just those you own.
