Scheduler Roles/Permissions

[Amine]

Hello!

Is it possible to setup some sort of roles/permissions around the creation and editing? The main concern is that we have two scenarios that need to be supported:

1- Read Only Mode (Admin only can create).
2- Shared Mode (Users can see all entries but only modify theirs).

I haven't purchased this yet and this will help with the purchase decision.

Thank you,
Amine,

Hi,

I was facing such issue while working on one of web application. There doesn't exist direct way (or modes). But indirect way exists.

Steps to resolve - 

(1) Declare CustomAttributeNames in RadScheduler as follow - 

<telerik:RadScheduler runat="server" ID="EventScheduler" CustomAttributeNames="BookedBy,Role"/>

CustomAttributeNames are way of adding extra piece of information with appointments.

(2) Now you can use OnAppointmentInsert, OnAppointmentUpdate, OnAppointmentDelete to check user's role. And to check if user created appointment is same as who is logged in.

Code Snippet - 

// APPOINTMENT INSERT
protected void EventScheduler_AppointmentInsert(object sender, AppointmentInsertEventArgs e)
    {
        if (Session["User"] != null)
        {
             e.Cancel = false;
        }
        else
        {
            e.Cancel = true; // Cancel this event or appointment creation
            ShowErrorMessage("Only logged in user can create events.");
        }
    }

// APPOINTMENT UPDATE
    protected void EventScheduler_AppointmentUpdate(object sender, AppointmentUpdateEventArgs e)
    {
        if (Session["User"] != null)
        {
             switch (Utility.LoggedUserRole)
            {
                case "Admin":
                     e.Cancel = false;
                    ShowErrorMessage("Updating events in blocked timeslot is not allowed.");
                    break;


                case "User":
                    if (e.Appointment.Attributes["BookedBy"].Equals(Utility.LoggedUserEmp))
                    {
                         e.Cancel = false; // Let user update appointment
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        e.Cancel = true;
                        ShowErrorMessage("You cannot modify other user's created events.");
                    }

                    break;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            e.Cancel = true;
            ShowErrorMessage("Only logged in user can modify events.");
        }
    }

// APPOINTMENT DELETE
    protected void EventScheduler_AppointmentDelete(object sender, AppointmentDeleteEventArgs e)
    {
        if (Session["User"] != null)
        {
            switch (Utility.LoggedUserRole)
            {
                case "Admin":
                    e.Cancel = false;
                    break;

                case "User":
                    if (!e.Appointment.Attributes["BookedBy"].Equals(Utility.LoggedUserEmp))
                    {
                        e.Cancel = true;
                        ShowErrorMessage("You cannot delete other user's created events.");
                    }
                    break;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            e.Cancel = true;
            ShowErrorMessage("Only logged in user can delete events.");
        }
    }

// Error function
private void ShowErrorMessage(string message)
    {
        Label1.Text = message;
        System.Web.UI.ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this, GetType(), "LabelUpdated","$telerik.$('.lblError').show().animate({ opacity: 0.9 }, 5000).fadeOut('slow');", true);
    }
