I am curious about how to create a calendar that is not owned by an
individual user. Maybe create a calendar-user and share the
calendar-user's calendar?
We do this at $dayjob with Cyrus. It's not in the documentation but you
can see in this GitHub issue comment
https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-imapd/issues/2373#issuecomment-415738943
what you need to do from an interactive IMAP client. Copying here for
posterity:
You must use an admin account to login to the server and then issue
commands like these:
|0000 CREATE #calendars (TYPE CALENDAR) 0001 CREATE #addressbooks
(TYPE ADDRESSBOOK) 0002 CREATE #calendars/Shared (TYPE CALENDAR)
0003 CREATE #addressbooks/Shared (TYPE ADDRESSBOOK) |
Just use . as separator instead of / if using unixhierarchysep:0
Then you have to grant users permissions individually to see the
calendars. I have a Perl script that wraps around Cyrus::IMAP::Admin to
do this from an Active Directory group.
Shared calendars are missing a few features that personal calendars
have: they are not discoverable (that's what the GitHub issue is about);
events on them can't have attendees; also I've never had reminders for
them work.
