This function allows you to share your personal calendar with other users, so that they can participate in all activities of this calendar.
You can set permissions on your shared calendar to two levels:
View permission allows shared users to view the shared calendar and its events/tasks, but cannot change any information. It means that the shared users cannot add/edit/delete events or tasks, or edit, import and export the shared calendar.
Edit permission allows shared users to view, import and export the shared calendar or add, edit, delete events/tasks inside the shared calendar. However, you cannot edit detailed information of a shared calendar, such as its display name.
If other users share their calendars with you, you will see shared calendars in the Shared Calendars category.
