Roles: Setting User Scheduling Rights in Hub Planner.
How we go about setting user scheduling rights in Hub Planner. Who has access to schedule resources on projects? Manage the schedule? Can I schedule my own bookings, drag and drop bookings on projects I manage, manage unassigned work categories on my projects. Let’s look at how to set the scheduling rights of Hub Planner users.
There are number of options when setting user scheduling rights at a role level.
- No Access
- Individual Scheduling Access
- Limited Scheduling Access
- Full Scheduling Access
- Full Scheduling on Managed Projects
- Scheduling rights to Unassigned Work
- Scheduling rights to Unassigned Work on Managed Projects
What are the user scheduling rights options?
There are a 7 different options you can assign. Each explained below. It’s good to mention here that when setting user scheduling rights to keep in mind the Permissions access options. In Permissions, we can set user access to resources, projects, events and unassigned work by individual resources or by role type.

Scheduling rights on these Unassigned Work Categories are limited to Projects they have Permissions to. With the exception If a Project the user has permissions to is using an Unassigned Work Categories the user does not have permissions to, the user will still be able to schedule that category for that Project.

- Project Groups
- Individual Projects
- Events
- Resource Groups
- Individual Resources
- Unassigned Work if installed.
Set Permissions by Role
To set permissions by role, simply click the settings cog of the role to open the Permissions Builder. Navigate through each of the tabs to assign permissions at role level. Click save for permissions to set. Note, should you alter permissions from the default setting, the role will now be tagged ‘Custom’ under each tab on the home page of Permissions. Within each tab, there is an option to automatically add the user to all newly created projects or resources of a group.
Set Permissions by Resource
To assign permissions to an individual resource, click the Resources tab on the Permissions home page. Locate the resource by using the filters, or scrolling through the list of resources. You can opt to filter by role type, or resource name/email. Click the settings cog of resource to open the Permissions Builder.
Navigate through each of the tabs (Projects, Events, Resources & Unassigned) to assign permissions at the resource level. Click save for permissions to set. Note, should you alter permissions from the default setting, the resource will now be tagged ‘Custom’ under each tab on the home page of Permissions.
This user has custom permission settings.
If the role type of the resource or the resource has already been assigned customised permissions, there will be an indicator message to inform you of this. If required, you can opt to revert to base permissions.
