Recent changes to Harvard Google calendar sharing permissions

February 29, 2024

We recently updated the default setting for Harvard Google calendar permissions to increase the privacy of calendar event details. On February 28, we enabled a setting that defaults users to only share their Free/Busy calendar availability, instead of full details, with other Harvard Google Calendar users, and creates parity between Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. 

If you would like to change your Google calendar sharing settings, you can find instructions for controlling access to your calendar and individual events here.

If you have questions or need help, you can contact the HUIT Service Desk or your school’s local IT support.
