Restrict posting to default calendar forum for certain membergroups.

[awkenney]

This question has been asked before, but was so poorly worded, it barely got an answer:

I am the administrator of my board, and here is the issue. I have enabled the calendar feature. I have a default forum that calendar events are stored in... in this case it is Companyname>Calendar.

I can restrict the creation of new calendar events by membergroup. But I can't prevent the member from going to the Companyname>Calendar forum and posting a new post.

I set permissions to Disallow for every item in the membergroup for this forum, and it still allows the member to post. Said membergroup is the primary membergroup for this member. There are no other membergroups assigned to this member.

Any thoughts?

OK, now I've come to discover that for some reason any user can post to anything they can "see."
Not good.

Try denying permissions for the board in question instead of per user or group.

Don't deny it's not needed.

So you have a board set to Local permissions in which the calendar events are posted?
In that case allow the post new topics permission for any group which you want to be able to post topics/calendar events. Clear the permission for any group you don't.
I'm pretty sure you can't post a calendar event in a forum you don't have permission to.
