Google Calendar / Manage room calendar viewing permissions

Objective

• To provide instruction on modifying viewing permissions for a room calendar in Google Calendar when:
  • You have a room calendar for which anyone can see the details of events scheduled — you want details to be visible only to a select group of people

Environment

• 10257: Google Calendar 
  • Room Calendar

Resolution

1. Click the three dots to the right of a calendar and choose Settings and Sharing
2. Click Share with specific people in the left navigation pane
3. To the right of the user email address under Permission Settings, choose the drop-down tab
4. Make the appropriate selection from one of the following
   • See all event details (default)
   • Make changes to events
   • Make changes and manage sharing
   • See only free/busy (hide details)
