This article contains information on how to change the permissions on your calendar (to give someone more or less rights) or to remove someone's access to your calendar.


  1. Open the calendar section of Microsoft 365.
     
  2. Click the three dots to the right of the calendar name and click Sharing and permissions
    Screenshot of where to find the sharing and permissions section

     
  3. To remove access a person has to your calendar, click the trash icon to the right of the permission for the person you want to remove access for
     
  4. To alter access (for example to give more permission, or to reduce the permission level), click on the current permission level next to the user and change it.

An explanation of the permission levels is below:

  • Can view when I'm busy - by default all faculty/staff can see free/busy availability of other faculty/staff at New Paltz.  This allows easier scheduling of meetings, but doesn't let anyone know calendar details.  They will see times blocked out - but not anything else such as appointment details.
  • Can view titles and locations - this will let the person you are sharing your calendar with see the dates, times, titles locations of your events, but not any other added details that you place in the event.
  • Can edit - this will let the person add/remove/edit events on your calendar
  • Delegate - this is the same as "Can edit" but can accept/decline appointment requests on your behalf.
    • Note: When "Delegate" is selected, there's an additional check box that comes up of "Let delegate view private events".  This means that any event you have marked as private - that person will see.
