Calendar:Setting Access Rights

Setting Access Rights allows you to pick who can and cannot see or edit certain parts of your calendar. It is vital you pick carefully, because it doesn't take much to mess around with your calendar.

1. Know what access rights you want a person to have before you begin
   • Note: To give anyone designate rights other than modify, they must be able to modify at least one type of access level
2. Open the Tools menu
3. Click Access Rights...
4. In the text box, type in the name of the person who's access rights you will modify and press the green checkmark
5. Under the Designate tab, check the appropriate boxes that correspond with the access rights you plan to give them
   • Note: Full designate means they have as much control over your calendar entries as you do
   • Note: No designate means they cannot modify your calendar in any way
   • Note: Access rights are heirarchal. For example, if you check modify, they can also view/reply and view times.
6. Under the Viewing tab, check the appropriate boxes that correspond with the access rights you plan to give them
7. Under the View Task tab, check the appropriate boxes that correspond with the access rights you plan to give them
8. Under the Scheduling tab, check the box if you would like them to be able to schedule you for meetings or events
   • The default access rights give a person the ability to view the times your busy under a normal agenda and allow you to schedule them for meetings and events. You cannot modify anything or view tasks.
