As a student, limit who can view your calendar availability
If you do not want others to be able to see the appointments in your calendar, but still want to use its functionality, update your privacy settings. Students may change their privacy settings so their calendar appears blank. This allows you to schedule and view your calendar events as usual, but others will not see them. For instructions, see the related article titled Student Calendar Privacy Settings - Outlook.
As an employee, limit who can view your calendar availability
The Office 365 Calendar is a convenient way to keep all your appointments in one place. The ability for SVSU users to view the availability of a faculty or staff member is an efficient way to conduct business. Viewing availability means that users can see if a specific time is set as free or busy on another's calendar. They cannot see the appointment name or the location unless the calendar has been shared with them. You can mark a specific appointment as "Private" which will prevent visibility into any details of that appointment (even from those that have "full details" access to your calendar). ITS may change an employee's privacy settings if there is a security or safety concern having busy/free information available.
To change an employee's privacy settings for Calendar, an IT Support Center ticket must be submitted.
Share your calendar with other people
By default, anyone from SVSU who is using Office 365 will be able to see your free/busy information. If you would like to give other people, who are using Office 365, the ability to view additional details or modify your calendar, you will need to share your calendar with them.
