I don't know if it will meet your needs, but have a look at "plan":

   http://www.IN-Berlin.DE/User/bitrot/plan.html

Also worth looking at the main page

  http://www.IN-Berlin.DE/User/bitrot/

This has a lot of useful calendar/scheduler functions, and is
easy to use once you get the hang of it. It can be run on
a local machine, but it is also networkable: you can store the
schedule files on a central server running a program 'netplan'
and the other machines, each running 'plan', get their data from
that. I think that controlling access to the files is probably a
matter of setting up groups: there doesn't seem to be an access
control function which is configurable within plan, but I'm not sure.

Hope this helps,
Ted.
