Thank you in advance.

Hi Daniele,

You could try editing the role of student and allowing the capability moodle/calendar:manageentries.

Thank you Helen.
I tried but it doesn't work. Maybe I missed something!!
I tried it by logging in as a student but the student was able to only create a "user event" triste

Hmm, I've just checked using the latest 1.8+ and it works fine. thoughtful Here's what I did:
  1. Edit student role via Administration > Users > Permissions > Define role and allowed the "Manage any calender entries" capability
  2. Log out then login as a student
  3. Access the calendar within a course
  4. Click the button "Add an event"
  5. Select "Course event" as the type of event

You are right. I changed "Manage own calender entries" with "Manage any calender entries" arrossito
You are right, as always. Thanks Helen.
