Calendars & Messages
Giving Others Access to your Calendar or Mailbox/Folder
Note: The steps below are the same regardless of whether you are giving access to a calendar or to a mailbox/folder.
-
Open the calendar or mailbox/folder you wish to share.
-
Select the Options button in the upper right corner of the window. Note that the Options button is different than the Calendar Options button.
-
Locate the Identifier field
Each person who needs access to your calendar will need to be listed in an Identifier field and given the appropriate access.
-
Determine the Identifier for the person with whom you want to share this calendar or mailbox/folder. It will be a tilde (~) followed by the first part of their email address (i.e., the part before @csulb.edu).
For example, for the email address jdoe@csulb.edu the identifier would be ~jdoe.
Keep in mind that this feature will only be available to other individuals on campus webmail.
Choose any combination of these access controls as appropriate per user.
