  5. Select the type of access to grant the user(s):
    • None: This resource is not shared with the user. This setting is useful if you give permissions to a group but want a specific user to be denied permission.
    • Availability-Only: This setting is used to show availability for you if the user clicks on the availability link when adding a calendar item. Other than this functionality, the calendar acts as if it is not shared.
    • Read-Only: Grants view access to the resource, which lets the other user see your information, without granting any permission to change or modify the calendar in any way.
    • Full Control: The user that has this permission can do everything on the calendar that you can, including moving items, changing things, and even deleting information.
  6. Click Save.
