Permissions
Event Planner adds no permissions or roles of its own. Confluence and Jira permissions decide who sees and changes each calendar, and restricted pages, space calendars and work items stay restricted.

Jira checks these permissions on the server for every request, not only in the app's screens.
Things to know
- Events have no owner. Everyone who can edit a calendar can change or delete any event on it, whoever added it.
- The lock isn't a permission. Everyone who can edit a calendar can unlock it. See Lock a calendar.
- Adding someone to an event gives them no access. People on an event see it only if they can already see the calendar.
License
Every change also needs an active license for the app. Viewing and export work without one. See Licensing.
