Sharing, Export, Sync

How to share calendar with a team

  • To share a specific calendar with a user, you must first transfer access to it.

  • Assign the user one of two calendar roles: Admin or User. Admins have the ability to make changes to the calendar, while users can only view it.

  • Once the user has been granted the appropriate permissions, use the "permalink" button located to the right of the calendar to generate a unique link. Share this link with your colleagues.

It is important to verify that the user has the necessary permissions to access the calendar by checking their "Calendar Users" global permissions in the system. Additionally, check the filter and issues permissions for any filter calendars, and ensure the user has access to the project(s) the calendar is built on for project and JQL calendars.
