what is fully ok on my side, but right, accountability is "away".

yes, I'm aware of it, then the ogo admin has to contact the db admin, to do

however, right now, I just think the behaviour is  inconsistent, the ogo 
admin is able to edit anything of an appointment, even delete it, but not 
change the access rights.
