# Making the calendar with your church services visible for everybody

The church service calendar is not only important for members or staff of your church, but also for visitors who want to find out when the next services will be. In this tutorial you will learn how to make the **church service calendar (1)** with the associated **appointments (2)** visible to all people, with or without a user account, so that the appointments can for example be seen when you embed the calendar in your website.

### Open permissions management

First, open the **permissions management** by accessing the menu in the top right corner **(3)** and select **Manage Permissions (4)**.

**Note**

If you cannot access the permissions management, you don't have the needed permission "Administration > Adjust permissions (administer persons)". In this case, contact an admin in your church.

### Selecting the *Person not logged in*

In the permissions management, select the tab **Users (5)** and open the **Person not logged in (6)**.

**Note**

The *Person not logged in* is a concept in ChurchTools that groups visitors to your ChurchTools who are not logged in. Permissions assigned to this user therefore apply to all visitors to your ChurchTools who are not logged in. And of course additionally for all those who are logged in.

### Assign permissions

Open the section **Calendar (7)** and grant the permission *View "Calendar" (view)* **(8)** by checking the box. With this permission, a person who is not logged in can now see the calendar module.

To enable them to see the dates of the church service calendar, open the sections *View single calendar (view category)* > *Church calendar* **(9)** and tick *Sunday services (Campus - Center)* **(10)**.

**Note**

Finally, don't forget to scroll down and **Save Changes** below the expanded permissions tree.

### Check

The last step is to check whether everything is working as it should. To do this, go to the **Calendar module (11)** and **copy the address (12)** from the address bar in your browser.

Now **log out** of your account and open the copied link. You will now see what a non-logged-in visitor to your ChurchTools sees and can check whether he can see all the calendars and appointments that he should be allowed to see.

**Tip**

You can apply this tutorial to any church calendar in ChurchTools. Perhaps your church has another calendar which appointments should be publicly visible to all, e.g. a calendar for the youth or prayer meetings. Simply repeat this tutorial with all the relevant calendars.
