The permissions granted to you determine your ability to update a calendar:

  • Read-only access allows you to view existing entries, but it does not allow you to make changes.

  • Authors may create and edit their own entries.

  • Editors may add their own and edit all other entries.

Info
titleInfo

Newly-requested student access to shared calendars is granted under student worker accounts (NetIDwork@uconn.edu).
A current exception to this procedure is calendar access requested by IMS / Capri Price for her graduate students; we don't request creation of a student work account, as the only shared resource access they need is to shared calendars for equipment booking.
It is possible for a student to access a shared mailbox using only their NetID, by entering this URL in the browser's address field:
     https://outlook.office365.com/owa/mailboxname/?layout=light
     (replace 'mailboxname' with the address from the resource's contact card, as found in Outlook; i.e., https://outlook.office365.com/owa/resource4122@ad.uconn.edu/?layout=light, which will provide access to the ITS - Support shared mailbox.
