However categories can be applied to bookings and these categories can affect how much access is available when trying to edit existing bookings from the public interface.
If you find that you are unable to edit a booking from the public interface and you are a power user or admin, then try editing the booking from the advanced interface.
...
Log in to the advanced interface in ASIMUT
Search for the existing booking via the View or Arrangements tabs
Click to show the details for the booking
Check what is shown in the Category field
Note that there’s no option to specify a category when booking form the public interface, so bookings with categories must have originally been created from the advanced interface:
...
(Log in to the advanced interface in ASIMUT)
Go to Functions > Edit categories
Find the category that is applied to the booking and click on this category
Check what is shown in the right column of the right hand pane for this category.
Categories that have not been set up to not allow editing from the public interface will show the text

Protected status
The ‘Protected’ field is available for all categories.
If the category is open for public bookings (two columns of settings), then maybe see if the checkbox "Protected" ‘Protected' is also ticked:
...
If so, look in Functions > Check access rights if the user is allowed to edit "protected events".
...
In short, there are few access rights that might prevent a user from editing certain bookings, if the user isn't allowed and if the category the user is trying to edit isn't configured for that.
...
There are two event types:
- Normal events which can be created with a public category
- Protected events which can be created with a public category but with the Protected status applied in the category’s settings.
For Normal events there are increasing levels of access rights from
...
‘may edit normal event’ and ‘may cancel normal event’.
Similarly, there are increasing levels of access rights for Protected events from
‘may cancel protected event where owner’
up to may edit and cancel protected events
‘may edit protected event where participant’ and ‘may cancel protected event where participant’
up to
‘may edit any protected event’ and ‘may cancel any protected event’.
