To enable the Recscheduling module in KMS/KAF
- Login to the application Configuration Management window.
- Scroll down and select the Recscheduling module in the Modules/Custom/core section and select Yes to enable the module.
Recscheduling module is determined based on the time zone setting under the Application module.
Allowed Users
- Scheduling Administrator's Group
An "allowed user" can see and edit all events, past and future, in the organization, even ones the user did not create. To ensure that all scheduling admins can see all events, a dynamic Scheduling Administrator's Group has been set up internally to ensure that the current list of scheduling admins can see events and have access to the module. The group is maintained in the Kaltura platform and is not exposed.The following personas are examples of the allowed users that may be configured to schedule events:
- A main administrator's group that performs all the scheduling for devices. This is performed once at the beginning of a semester as a concentrated effort. This team is usually also the one responsible for the devices themselves.
- Each department has an admin who's responsible for scheduling recordings for their school staff. The overall operation is overseen by the main admin of the institution.
- Professors can set and request recordings for their courses and add metadata as well.

Scheduling Admins Group Permissions
Users in the Scheduling Admins Group (users that are defined in the Recscheduling module) have the following permissions:
- Access to the My Calendar button.
- Ability to view all events in the system (past and future and all types of events).
- Editing or deleting any event in the system. (including events not created by the current logged in user).
- Adding events to the system.
Membership in the Scheduling Admins Group does not affect the publishing permissions in each application. See Recscheduling module.
- KAF - All scheduling admins can publish only to the KAF categories they have permission to view.
Scheduling Admins Group Publishing Permissions
The Scheduling Admins Group does not affect the publishing permissions in each application.
- KMS - All scheduling admins can publish to KMS categories/channels per their entitlement and any addition category under the root categories defined in the scheduling module.
- KAF - All scheduling admins can publish only to KAF categories they have permission to view.
Adding a User to the Scheduling Admins Group
When a user is added to the Recscheduling module permissions, they are automatically added to the Scheduling Admins Group. Users are added either through the KMS admin or through the KAF admin.
Removing a User from the Scheduling Admins Group
When a user is removed from the Recscheduling module permissions, they are automatically removed from the Scheduling Admins Group and the user will no longer have permission to view and edit all events.
Removing a User from the System
If a user (KMC or KMS user) is deleted from the system, they will no longer have access to the Recscheduling module or be able to see any of the created events.
A user may be removed either through the KMS or KAF admin console.
Enabling the Module both in KAF and KMS
The Scheduling Admins Group is a single group for the Kaltura Partner ID. If the Recscheduling module is enabled in both applications, all users will be able to see all events created via either application. The events will be editable via KMS or KAF.
Editing Publishing
When editing publishing settings for an event (entry template), there could be a conflict in entitlements.
Scheduling Admins Group users will be able to see the event publishing settings only based on their entitlement, and will only be able to edit publishing settings accordingly.
User Management Integrations
Active Directory
The Scheduling Admins Group is not related to Active Directory Groups. The behavior described in this article should also apply when KMS relies on AD for user management.
LTI
User entitlements based on LTI are also relevant for Scheduling Admins. While specific users can be provided access to the Recscheduling module, the publishing entitlements are the same for that user as they appear on any other entry.
