Calendar Administration Overview

The Delegated Administrator does not create or manage calendars. You must use the Calendar Server utilities described in Appendix D, Calendar Server Command-Line Utilities Reference.

Before creating calendars, you must know the following information:

• There are two types of calendars, user calendars and resource calendars.

  User calendars are for scheduling human activity. Resource calendars are for scheduling the use of inanimate objects, such as conference rooms, or video equipment.

• Both types of calendars are identified by a unique calendar identifier (calid).

• Create user calendars with cscal. (Alternately, you can allow auto-provisioning at login time. See Automatic Creation of User Calendars.

• Create resource calendars with csresource. (There is no auto-provisioning of resource calendars.)

To run cscal or csresource, you must log in as a user who has administrative rights to the system where Calendar Server is running. You must run these commands from the /opt/SUNWics5/cal/sbin directory. That is, you must change to the sbin directory; you can not run them from another directory by specifying the path.
