Hi there,

Hope some kind soul can help with this one, I recently updated a user to add them as an editor to all users for a workspace, something I have done for several users in this org successfully in the past, however when I look at the user's access in the calendar settings they only have 'reader' access still and they cannot be upgrade. I've checked the global settings and there shouldn't be anything preventing them from being editors as far as I can see. 

Example of command output:

Calendar: some...@somedomain.com, Calendar ACL: (Scope: user:wri...@somedomain.com, Role: writer), Added

Have I done something incorrectly or missed something obvious with this one?

Thanks for having a look!

Cheers,

Thanks for getting back Ross, had to choose a different user as needed to fix it manually but it's the same across all users, all the others are correct but in calendar sharing newlyad...@somedomain.com only has read permissions and cannot be given editor/writer. 

User: some...@somedomain.com, Show Calendar ACLs from 1 Calendar
  Calendar: some...@somedomain.com, Show 10 Calendar ACLs
    Scope: user:owner@somedomain, Role: owner (1/10)
    Scope: domain:somedomain.com, Role: reader (2/10)
    Scope: group:a...@somedomain.com, Role: writer (3/10)
    Scope: user:one...@somedomain.com, Role: writer (4/10)
    Scope: user:two...@somedomain.com, Role: writer (5/10)
    Scope: user:thre...@somedomain.com, Role: writer (6/10)
    Scope: user:four...@somedomain.com, Role: reader (7/10)
    Scope: user:fiv...@somedomain.com, Role: writer (8/10)
    Scope: user:six...@somedomain.com, Role: writer (9/10)
    Scope: user:newlyad...@somedomain.com, Role: writer (10/10)

Thanks very much for the help Ross, we're in quite different time zones but I've sent you an invite for Wednesday morning your time, I hope you can make it but no worries if not!

Cheers,
