Sharing

This section is where you can share a calendar with other users or change the calendar's visibility level.

 

Change a calendar's visibility

Domain Sharing: If you want to share the calendar to your domain, switch the toggle to "Calendar Shared to Domain." When you make a calendar visible to your domain, only users in your domain can find and access the calendar.

Public Sharing: If you want to share the calendar to the public, switch the toggle to "Calendar is Public." When you make a calendar public, any one on the internet can find and access the calendar, no sign-in required.

Then select which visibility the calendar will have:

  • See only free/busy: Users can see events booked but not the details of them. It simply shows as "Busy" to those without an direct share or invite to the events.

  • See all event details: Users can see all event details of any booked on the resource, even if they were not invited.

Once you've made your desired changes, click Save. If you want to cancel the changes you've made, click Discard Changes.
