Please note that the Calendar Owner is able to add new users and assign them their respective roles. However, a Calendar Owner cannot make someone else a Calendar Owner. If you are a Calendar Owner and wants to transfer the account ownership to another person, please contact us.

3. Managing Calendar Users

If you are a Calendar Owner or an Admin User, you can manage other users. To do so, go to your Timely account, click on the Settings menu, and then on the Users tab. If you wish, you can use the filters to list users by their names, email addresses or roles. 

On the list of users, you will find information about all your users and be able to change properties for each of them, individually. The available options are:

  • Edit;
  • Download User Activity Log; and
  • Delete.

4. How Do Users Log in and Access the Calendar?

New Timely users will receive an invitation by email. They will need to create an account with a password, and then login into Timely’s event platform to be able to access the calendar.

Current Timely users will also receive an invitation by email. After logging in with their Timely credentials, current users might need to click on their profile icon on the top right corner to switch between their own calendar(s) and the new calendar they got invited to.
