Welcome! This forum has a treasure trove of great info – Scouters helping Scouters! Just a heads up, though - all content, information, and opinions shared on this forum are those of the author, not the BSA.
I am Scoutmaster, Troop Admin, so it is hard for me to know what others in the unit are seeing or not seeing when they have questions about the transition to the new calendar. But based on questions in the past few days, can you tell me:
Can Troop members see RSVPs for an event like they could in Scoutbook? Parents, Scouts with their own login, registered leaders?
Who can run the RSVP report?
An ASM who could previously see responses and run the RSVP report via Scoutbook says they cannot anymore. Does that sound right or wrong?
I see the calendar editor permission for youth (thank you!). Is there a similar role that can be established for registered leaders short of giving them full admin permission? Where is that - still in Scoutbook or somewhere else?
I am Admin for all units; no other profile - not a parent - so not way for me to test that way, unfortunately. Trying to explain the calendar to families this week.
Can someone speak to the issue of which adult positions can edit the calendar, run the RSVP report, enter activity logs? Are those permissions I set as Admin or is it automatic in the system?
Only Admins should be able to edit the Calendar - unless they are given the Edit Calendar role. I think parents can see others RSVP status but I cannot currently test that, Activity Logs for the group falls to Admins also.
So is there any way to give Edit Calendar role to an adult? I did not find it in the functional roles for adults in Organization manager or in Scoutbook, only for youth in Scoutbook. It seems like if this can be established for a youth leader, it could similarly be an add-on for an adult, without giving them full admin rights.
I have someone in the secretary roles that says they can not add activities logs post an event. I tried to change my wife role to test that access and see for my self. Although I gave the role to her it didn’t change anything in the calendar for her, but perhaps a role add is not instant like it used to be with this IA calendar?
