Based on the advice here i have removed almost everyone as an admin and put them in for what they are. The issues now is I have 2 people a Den Leader and the Advancement Chair who are not listed as admins and they can not make events in their calendar. Do you have to be some type of admin to use th…

You have to me a unit admin, Key 3, committee secretary, or outdoors activity chair in order to modify the calendar. Subunit (den or patrol) admins can also modify the calendar for their subunit.

They would have to be a den admin of each den for which they want to edit the calendar if they are not a key 3, unit admin, outdoor activities chair, or committee secretary.

No you fixed the time zone issue. Ok So i guess my question would be to follow up,. If you are a den leader why can’t you adjust your dens calendar with out being an Den Admin… Would seem to me that the Den leader or Assistant Den leader should be able to create a calendar due to their position?

The role requirements for the calendar have not been changed since before the BSA purchased Scoutbook. There are items in the development backlog to change how permissions work but we do not know when they will be scheduled for development work. At this time, we recommend den leaders also be made …

His thought was that he could put on the calendar when all the leaders need to have their advancements in so when he runs the report everything is up to date. We are just starting to use this so we are a little clumsy yet LOL. When you say add him as secretary to only have calendar rights can we …

By adding the secretary role, the only extra capability they will gain is to the calendar. This may help: Granting Roles and Permissions in Scoutbook (SB) - Scoutbook Knowledge Base

Ok thanks… Sorry one more question. If you change a role to full control that gives them basically the same control as an admin would have right? So they could stay as a den leader with full control and then be able to use the calendar?

An admin automatically gets full control access to all Scouts. For Unit Admins, all Scouts in the unit. For Den/Patrol admin, all Scouts in the Den/Patrol. A Den Admin can also change the den name/number. I believe that and calendar access are the only added permissions over full control.
