How can I display a calendar in SharePoint that behaves like my Outlook calendar? I know I can link the calendar to outlook, but anyone can make changes to my calendar in Sharepoint. How can the Sharepoint calendar enforce security on the calendar so that nobody can override my changes?
In SharePoint 2007, there is an option to configure item-level permissions if you go to your List Settings -> Advanced Settings page.
In the Item-Level Permissions section, under Edit access: Specify which items users can edit, select "Only their own".
That should take care of it for you.

how do I connect an Outlook calendar to SharePoint Online?
I see the option to add a new calendar but I don't know how to get the correct "Outlook Web Access URL" and "Exchange Web Service URL".
Am I on the right track?
Thanks!
SharePoint Online Doesn't support Calendar overlay with Exchange web service.

Yes it's possible. You can sync using Power Automate. The SharePoint Calendar is a SharePoint list with the name "Calendar". It's a simple PowerAutomate workflow with few steps which you can set up in a few minutes. In case you want to use a Shared Mailbox you can sync the calendar from therein when you share this calendar with your personal mailbox. Then you will see it in Power Automate shown as Calendar to retrieve events from.
Please note: SharePoint Item Action in Power Automate doesn't support all SharePoint List field types, e.g. checkboxes like "All Day Event". Nevertheless you can sync All Day Events which will show up with scheduled time 12pm-12pm.
You can also include SharePoint Calendars as SharePoint Web Part e.g. in a SharePoint Page.
I have a SharePoint 2013 calendar that needs unique permissions on it, allowing people who have NOT been granted access to the parent site access to this calendar. I've broken inheritance on this calendar and granted Read permissions on the calendar to these non site members. They are able to browse the calendar via Internet Explorer, but if they click the Connect to Outlook button in SharePoint, Outlook prompts for a username/password that can never authenticate. The calendar is added to Outlook, but any attempts to sync results in an error message:
'Task SharePoint reported error (0x80070005): You do not have permission to view theis SharePoint List... HTTP 401'
I've tried the conventional wisdom of deleting the calendar from Outlook and adding again, but always get the same result. The only thing that seems to fix the issue is to add the external user to the calendar's parent site as part of the members group. This gives that external user access to other content in the parent site we want to restrict, so this is not an option.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?
Tks
In order to Sync a SharePoint list or library to Outlook, the user must have Collaborate permissions for the library or list (2nd paragraph).
Finally got it figured out. There are a couple of folders like Site Collection Images and Style Folders that have unique permissions under the calendar parent site. My external users were not members of these libraries. As soon as I added them, I was able to add my SharePoint calendar to Outlook.
I created a SharePoint Designer List workflow and Published it to the library. I am able to run that manually. But it is not available for any of the users other than me. They are not able to see those workflows even in SharePoint designer.
Can anyone help me out
Users need "Contribute" and "Approve" permissions for this list.
You can do this setting by following the
List Settings --> Permissions For This List
I have a site collection with a subsite. I am storing a roadmap and some other project management documents within a document library in my subsite. I would like to share that document library with an internal user, but I don’t want her to see anything else – just that document library. I don’t want her to see any other parts of the site. Can I do that? How?
Yes,
Go to Site Settings > Site Permissions
Remove the user from all groups (click on Check Permissions to see what permissions she has on your site).
Go to the document library and click on the Library tab in the
ribbon.
Click on Shared With (far to the right)
Click on ADVANCED
Click on Stop Inheriting Permissions, confirm with Ok
Click on Grant
Permissions and give the user the appropriate rights (read, edit
etc.)
EDIT:
This is for a SharePoint 2013 site. Sorry for that. I dont have a SharePoint 2010 site available right now so I cant give you the exact steps, but the concept is still the same:
Remove the users permissions to the site.
Stop inheriting permissions for the document library
Grant the user permissions to the documet library
I am developing a sharepoint 2010 visual webpart that will show some sort of ajax content.
I have a property on the webpart for the refresh rate, but I want this property to be set only by an Administrator (or any specific group).
What is the best way to achieve this?
Thank you.
In our organization, everyone by default is granted "Read" permission to our SharePoint sites through an "All Employees" Active Directory group. This allows users to browse the pages, but not edit them; and if you can't edit a page, you can't edit any web parts on the page.
Those who should have elevated privileges are added to other AD groups (you could use SharePoint groups too), and those groups are granted appropriate permissions.
You could create a custom Toolpart. Take a look at this example for a tutorial on how to create one.
Overall, your general steps will be:
Create your custom Toolpart class inheriting from Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.ToolPart
In your custom Toolpart, override CreateChildControls, write the code to display your textbox as long as the current user has permission (based on whatever rules you choose, ex: SharePoint group).
In your webpart, override GetToolParts and add your custom ToolPart so that it shows up in the right hand side
