Preventing events from being deleted by someone who is not owner of event?

[Tyler]

I want to either throw a popup saying "You are not the event owner!" or get rid of the delete 'x' icon altogether if a user is not the owner of the event and tries to delete it. Right now, I have an if statement wrapping the content of my delete operation in my scheduler dataSource, so if they are not the user, it does not go in and delete the event in the Database and pops open the window saying they can't do that... However, kendo goes ahead and removes the event from the calendar anyway.......... If you refresh, the event comes back because it wasn't deleted from database.

 

How do I prevent kendo from removing an event from the calendar if the delete key was pressed while the user was not the event owner? Or how can I hide the delete option from any user that is not the event owner?

Hello Tyler,

You could use the remove event of the Scheduler to prevent the deletion and the dataBound event to hide the close button. Here is a dummy dojo showing the usage of the events:

I hope this will help you achieve the desired behavior.

Thanks, I used the remove event to simply set e.preventDefault to prevent the event from being deleted then opened the popup I wanted to notify they don't have permission to do the desired action. I had completely overlooked the remove event.
