Access Levels
Make changes and manage sharing | Full permissions - can manage events as well as add users to the calendar. |
Make changes to events | Can create and edit events, but can’t add other users to the calendar. |
See all event details | Can see what the events are (name/description), who is invited, etc |
See only free/busy (hide details) | Default - shows time slots that are taken, but does not provide information about the events. |
For general access, in the Access permissions for events section, choose whether you want the average user to see your event details. Free/busy is the default for users who haven’t been specifically added to your calendar.
Add events to a shared calendar
When creating an event, ensure that you are working in the correct calendar.
Google Calendar will automatically select whichever calendar you were last viewing.

If you put an event on the wrong calendar, you can correct this by editing the event and changing the calendar.
