What can users do on my schedule?

Whether registration is required for a schedule is configured on the Configure > Access page. Here you choose what users (and superusers) can do with respect to adding, updating and deleting bookings. This page also allows you to define which information about the bookings is made visible to regular users. As the administrator, you will always be able to see all information. In addition to configuring the access rights of regular users, the Configure > Access tab also allows you to define schedule-specific superusers and give them additional access rights.

On the Configure > Access page you:

Viewing and using the schedule

The default settings for your schedule are determined by the choices made during the “New schedule” setup wizard. Most schedules are configured to allow anyone to view them, but users need to log in to create or modify appointments. If you prefer to restrict access so only registered users can view and use your schedule, select Users have to log in to see the schedule under Who can see the schedule?.

The system is designed to prevent contradictory settings. For example, if you choose the option that only you and authorized superusers can make changes to the schedule, the Anyone who can add something… options under Who can update or delete entries? will automatically be disabled.
Access settings

Note that the options will differ slightly from the ones shown above if you selected the “shared password” or “IP filtering” option under Access Control

You also have the option to allow users to make changes without signing in. This simplifies the booking process but several important features such as the booking history will no longer be available. If you want unregistered users to change only their own appointment, you can add a special link in the confirmation email for their appointment.

If you allow people to make changes without signing in, you should uncheck Use email address as login name under Access Control. This will make a separate email field available for use on the booking form.

Viewing appointment details

Depending on what you use your SuperSaaS schedule for, you may want to hide certain booking details from users.

Visibility of appointment details

There are four levels of detail to choose from, ranging from showing all information to no detail at all. (The available options differ slightly between schedule types.) In case email addresses are part of the booking details, you can use the option Obscure email addresses to prevent users’ email addresses from being extracted from your schedule. Only the section of the email address before @ will be shown.

Hiding booking details may come in handy, in commercial settings, for example. Hiding certain booking details could help you protect your customers’ privacy. In contrary, a schedule for internal use only (for example to book a conference room) may need users to be able to check who else booked.

Superusers’ access rights

Superusers who are added through User Management have superuser access to all the schedules within an account. If you would rather grant a user superuser access to a particular schedule only, you can do so by adding the login name of that particular user on the Access tab of that schedule.

Superuser access settings

In addition to the ability to view all booking details, superusers can be granted additional access rights. You can, for example, allow superusers to change the holiday schedule and opening hours. By default, superusers have superuser status for all schedules on an account, you can limit this ability by configuring User Groups.
