Anyone can create event series - Allows any person to create and edit event series, but the above permission is needed to schedule events in that series. If this is off, only admins and content owners can create and edit event series.
Anyone can request an event be scheduled for a given event series - Allows people to request an event if there is not one scheduled for a given event series, or if there is not one scheduled they can attend.
Anyone can schedule mentorship sessions - Allows any person to offer themselves as a mentor by setting up mentorship sessions that other people can book. If this is off, only admins, global owners, and people designated as mentors can create and manage mentorship sessions.
Anyone can request mentorship sessions from people who choose to be listed as mentors - Allows people to find a potential mentor and request a session with them via their profile page (as long as they have set up their profiles to accept mentorship requests).
Anyone can schedule office hour sessions - Allows any person to create and manage office hours and schedule sessions for that office hour. If this is off, only admins and content owners add, update, and schedule office hour sessions.
Anyone can create tracks and content - Allows anyone to create and edit tracks, articles, videos, codelabs, assessments, collections, and links. SCORM courses always require an Admin or Organizer. If this is off, only admins and organizers can create and manage this content, although Channel Owners can still create articles, videos, and codelabs in their own Channel. Whoever creates an item is automatically added as its owner.
