These are the different levels of permissions:
- See only free/busy (hide details): If you select this, the person will be able to see that there are events on your calendar, but not any information about the event. All they will see is that your time is blocked off. All of your events will appear to them with the title “busy”.
- See all event details: If you select this, the person will be able to see everything on your calendar, except for events that you specifically mark private. They will not be able to make any changes, additions, or deletions to your calendar.
- Make changes to events: If you select this, the person will be able to see everything on your calendar, including private events, as well as make changes, additions, and deletions to your calendar.
- Make changes AND manage sharing: If you select this, the person will have the same access to your calendar as yourself. They can add, delete, or edit events, including private events. They can also edit the sharing settings and share your calendar with other people.
You can currently share your calendar with up to 75 users per day. If you'd like to share your calendars with more users, please wait 24 hours before trying again.
If you're having trouble sharing your calendar, remove the shared person from your calendar settings and share your calendar again to resolve the problem.
