Permission Levels
There are a few levels of permissions available, and are listed below:
- Can view when I'm busy
- This option will only show when you have an item on your calendar that marks you as "Busy", no further details
- Can view titles and locations
- Same as above, but will show the title of the item and it's location, if listed
- Can view all details
- Users will be able to open and see all the details of a calendar item
- Can edit
- Users will be able to open and edit any calendar item, but not create them.
- Delegate
- Users have "Full access" and will be able to create, edit, delete, and view items on your calendar
