Add a Calendar
User Options > Admin Center > Events & Calendars > Calendars
1. Click on User Options.
2. Select Admin Center from the drop-down menu.
3. Select Events & Calendars in the left-hand menu.
4. Click the Calendars tab.

To create a Global Calendar, name the calendar "Global Calendar" and consider the permissions for a more global audience.
7. Click Add in the lower right-hand corner.
Optional: Use the Enabled toggle to the right of the Calendar to make the Calendar and its related events visible or not visible.
Calendars can also be managed in Admin Plus.

To make a Global Calendar visible to a large amount of users, do not assign this calendar to a Group or user and make sure it is enabled for visibility.
Users will be auto-subscribed to Global Calendars; however, users are able to unsubscribe from a Global Calendar or will be removed if a user's role changes.
Global Calendars assigned to users and roles are edited in Calendar Object Permissions.
Optional (if not global): Assign the calendar to an optional owner: custom groups or users.
Optional (if not global): Assign an optional Owner object id (if a custom group or user was chosen).
The Group ID can be found under the ID Column in Admin Plus Groups.
A User ID can be found in the URL address when viewing a user's profile.
Check the tickbox to enable the Calendar, so it is visible to users. If this tickbox is not checked, the Calendar will not be visible to users, and Events for an assigned Group owner will not be visible to users.
