New calendar sharing permission level and changes to recurring event visibility

We're introducing a new calendar sharing permission level: “Make changes (see private events as free/busy)”. This allows you to grant someone edit access to your calendar while keeping the details of your private events entirely hidden. This is especially useful for leaders who assign delegates to help them manage their calendars.

Delegates assigned this restricted permission level will only be able to create, delete, and edit non-private events. Private events will appear to delegates as “busy” blocks on the calendar grid, and delegates will not be able to edit or reschedule them. In addition, private events won’t show up in any search results for delegates.

Changes to visibility for recurring events

We’re also introducing changes to the way visibility settings are applied to recurring events.

  • Users can no longer make changes to the visibility of a single event in a recurring series. Any changes to visibility will be applied to all events in the series.
  • Existing events in a recurring series will be updated to match the strictest visibility setting of any event in that series. In other words, if one event in the series is marked private but the others are not, all events in that series will be changed to private.

Getting started

  • Admins: There is no admin control for this feature.
  • End users: Users can grant delegates this new permission level in their Calendar settings. Visit the Help Center to learn more about sharing your calendar.

Rollout pace

Availability

  • Available to all Google Workspace customers, Workspace Individual subscribers, and users with personal Google accounts
