[Solved] User Roles in Rad Scheduler

[Sant Ra]

I am using RadScheduler for the first time.

I am trying to understand if its possible to use the scheduler depending on their privileges.
(Well in my case) Could a user only view the scheduler, an admin update / edit / delete / add an appointment (have all the privileges) ?
What would be the best approach to this?

And also any information or a sample on using different tables to fetch data into the scheduler, would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to pull up data into a scheduler depending on different users. And each type of user will be identified by their location and there are admins in that particular location who could modify the events in the scheduler. There are also general admins who could have access to all the locations. So its three different scenarios.

Thanks for your inputs in advance.

Sant.

Hello Sant,

You can set RadScheduler's ReadOnly and the Appointment's AllowDelete and AllowEdit properties in Page Load and AppointmentDataBound respectively depending on the current role. Here is an example:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!IsPostBack & Role == "Guest")
        {
            RadScheduler1.ReadOnly = true;
        }
    }
    protected void RadScheduler1_AppointmentDataBound(object sender, SchedulerEventArgs e)
    {
        if (Role == "Member")
        {
            e.Appointment.AllowDelete = false;
            if (e.Appointment.Attributes["CreatedBy"] != "Member")
                e.Appointment.AllowEdit = false;
        }
    }

The following demo shows how to pull data from a data source conditionally:

That worked for me. The example and the demo were very informative.

Thanks again !!!
