Google: Add or Remove Calendar Delegation

Environment

U-M Google, Calendar

Issue

How do I add or remove delegates to my Google Calendar to allow them to manage it (i.e., make changes and manage sharing)?

Resolution

You can give others full permission to administer your calendar in Google. However, ITS doesn't recommend giving full permission to many people or groups.

1. Open your U-M Google Calendar from the account that owns the one you want to share.
2. Hover over the calendar you want to share in the "My calendars" section on the left and click the three-dot icon that appears.
3. Select Settings and sharing from the drop-down menu.
4. Scroll to the "Share with specific people or groups" section and click Add people and groups.
5. Enter your new delegate’s email address in the field provided.
6. Select Make changes and manage sharing from the "Permissions" drop-down.
7. Click Send.
8. The new delegate will need to click the emailed link to add the calendar to their list.

As a reminder, anyone with full access permissions to your calendar will be able to:

• Respond to invitations
• Create and edit events
• Share your calendar with others
• Receive emails about changes to your calendar
• Delete your calendar

Additional Information

• Google does not use the term "delegation" to refer to granting an individual access to manage your calendar fully.
