The Event Manager enables users to view and manage their received
Event notifications. Those users granted the System module privilege
"ViewOtherEvents" may also view Event notifications sent to other users.
Typically, the "ViewOtherEvents" privilege is assigned to managers with
responsibility for monitoring the activities of other users. If not granted
this privilege, users may only view Event notifications associated with
their own account. Additional System module privileges grant the ability to
delete one's own Event notifications and/or the Event notifications assigned
to other users.
Tip
Consider defining a clear relationship between the Events assigned
to a user and the activities a user participates in. For example, if a
user is not part of the Sales team, turn off all Sales Events for that
user.
The following screen will appear when you select the "Event Manager"
option:
When displaying system-generated Events, you are presented with the
following options:

This is the only option available to users who have not been

right-click menu to acknowledge receipt of an Event. Other right-click
options may also be available, depending on assigned
privileges.

The ability to view the Events assigned to other users is only
