The button to create a new event in the calendar is missing. I am set to my Committee Member roll. ---

@MikeGandrud - your unit key 3 would need to set your permissions as committee members have no permissions ---

A major focus of the migration to Scoutbook Plus is to have positions mirror the positions shown in My.Scouting to ensure positions were reflected accurately in both platforms. The main purpose is to honor the guidance of our charter organizations and the positions they approve. Therefore, **Scoutbook Plus does not** use Legacy Scoutbook positions. Registered positions are used to provide base permissions. Some additional permissions can be added by the unit, however, there are restrictions on what can be given. See the updated [Scoutbook\_Permissions.pdf](https://discussions.scouting.org/uploads/short-url/qngvgDJg53aMPd2dxH2PlfAHlEK.pdf)and the [Scoutbook Plus permissions video](https://youtu.be/owdWH062XFc) for more details. Just as permissions are now limited - so is report access - [https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/scoutbook/Report-Permission-Access.pdf](https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/scoutbook/Report-Permission-Access.pdf) ---

Thanks for the reply! In the upper right corner, I am set to Committee Member. In My.Scouting my registered positions in T253 are Committee Member and New Member Coordinator. My functional position is Unit Advancement Chair. In all Troop reports, I show up in two separate lines that have the same member ID. Does Unit Advancement Chair not automatically have permission to create calendar events? Does this relate to the fact that I have two registered positions with the same Member ID? To fix my two registered positions, is there something specific that I should ask my Council to do? ---

Well the 2 registered positions in same unit is councils mistake and they need to fix it. But none of those positions give you default permission for calendar. See the links I posted. ---

Would Assistant Scoutmaster give me calendar permissions? ---

As said before - look at the links above. Key3 can take action for you if they choose to ---
