Filtering a view by visitor type (authenticated or not)

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

All:
I have created a "Calendar" view that is populated by a content type called "Event," which includes a field "Event Type." There are 2 types of events, public and private. I want my Calendar view to filter out private events for anonymous users/visitors to the site while still displaying the public ones. I want both the public and private Events to display for authenticated users. I have been playing with Filter Criteria and Contextual Relationships, but cannot seem to get the right combination to work. How do I make this happen?

Thanks in advance!

I'm not certain, but, I don't

I'm not certain, but, I don't think you can do it that way. Without adding another module, maybe a two calendar views, one for visitors and one for logged in users.

If that doesn't work, then you could get into permission controls. Using "Content Access" you can grant access to nodes based on roles. I think you will need to create two separate content types for the event, but you will only need to create one calendar view.

There might be a better solution out there, hopefully someone will direct you if there is.

Thanks

Thanks, Jeremy, for clarifying it for me. Because of your advice, I tried again to use Organic Groups, which had not been working right but did work right this time -- weird!

I have not used OG; does it

I have not used OG; does it solve your problem then?
