 | Chapter 9. System Module |  |
The event manager enables users to view and manage their received event notifications. Those users granted the ViewOtherEvents privilege may also view event notifications sent to other users. Typically, the ViewOtherEvents privilege is assigned to managers with responsibility for monitoring the activities of other users. If not granted this privilege, users may only view event notifications associated with their own account. Additional privileges grant the ability to delete one's own event notifications and/or the event notifications assigned to other users.
Consider defining a clear relationship between the events assigned to a user and the activities a user participates in. For example, if a user is not part of the sales team, turn off all sales events for that user.
