Create Sharepoint calendar from an Event List with filtered events

Hi,

We have an app that outputs an Event list: GlobalEventList. To that event list, all users need to have write permissions in order for the app to create or delete events in the respective user context.

 

I can limit access to the sharepoint site, so general access to that event list is not considered a problem.

 

I now want a specific user to see a calendar with only a filtered set of events (e.g. a calendar with all events where DepartmentName = "DE" (where DepartmentName is a custom field added by the App)). That specific user shall not see all other events from the event list. So creating a view does not do the trick.

 

So I was hoping to create a new Calendar for each filtered set of events, for which I set the permissions accordingly and that copies the events from the GlobalEventsList according to a filter.

Any suggestions on how to do this?

 

Regards
Julian

    This can be easily done with creating view but needs to give conditions to each view.

    Show calendar if Department is equal to = HR so everyone from HR department could see it.

    Let me know if more specific information is needed.
