K-State Zimbra calendar objects

K-State Zimbra calendar objects are special e-mail accounts representing locations (rooms) and resources (equipment) that departments or organizations want to be available in K-State Zimbra for scheduling. They are, by default, visible to the entire university and can be invited to meetings. Calendar objects are created by K-State's calendar administrators upon requests. Calendar objects:

• Are only available for use by university departments and organizations.
• Must be requested and managed by a full-time K-State faculty/staff member who:
  • Is responsible for the calendar object and maintaining contact information.
  • Is associated with the appropriate building or department.
  • Establishes management shares as needed.
• Student organizations calendar objects must be sponsored by the faculty advisors.
• Cannot be used as group accounts.

Note: If you have departmental rooms and equipment that you manage, but don't want those calendars visible to the entire university, you can create local calendar instances instead of global calendar objects. See Creating calendars for more information.
