  • In the ribbon, click on the three lines in the top left corner of the window, and then select “Share this item with others.”
  • In the “Share this item with others” dialog, enter a name for your calendar, and then click on “Share.”
  • The calendar will be shared with other users who have access to your account.

To share your calendar, open your calendar in Outlook and in the Navigation Pane click on “Share My Calendar”.

In this window click on the Permissions tab. This is where you decide who on your network will have access and what rights they will have. If you want to share with anyone just click on Default and choose the permission level. Each level allows or denies various editing rights. You can check out more information on Permission Levels at the Microsoft Office Site

If you would rather choose individuals on your network whom you want to share your calendar with just click on the Add.. button and choose the individuals or departments you want to grant sharing to.  Click OK and you are now sharing your Outlook Calendar.
