How to disable editing RecurringApppointments for some events

[Denis Buchwald]

I need to prevent some users from modifying some recurring events but allow them to edit others based on role permissions. I've built a function that gets called on  "Edit" event but the problem is "Edit" event gets called when editing and also adding an event. I need to allow adding events but prevent editing/modifying existing recurring events. Currently scheduler_edit function prevents both editing and adding events.

Here is my stripped down scheduler_edit function:

function scheduler_edit(e) {
    if (!e.event.CanBeEdited) {
        e.preventDefault();
    }
}

Hello,

The issue seems to be connected with Kendo Scheduler. If this case you can use  the e.event.isNew() to check f the event is new - just being added or not.

e.event.isNew() is true when editing a current occurrence of recurring appointment and adding a new appointment. I can't use it. Is there another parameter that would let me distinguish those to cases?

Hi,

You can also check if the event is recurring by using the isRecurring() method of the event.

Hope this will help[ you solve the issue.
