Update Summary

Google Calendar introduces the new sharing permission level "Make changes (see private events as free/busy)" and changes how visibility works for recurring events. July 7, 2026 rollout begins for Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains.

Update Details

Security

  • New restricted delegate permission lets editors manage non-private events while keeping private event details hidden as free/busy only.
  • Private events are excluded from delegate search results and cannot be edited or rescheduled by delegates.

New Features

  • New calendar sharing permission level: Make changes (see private events as free/busy).
  • Recurring event visibility is now applied to the entire series instead of individual events.

Hints

  • Admins: There is no admin control for this feature.
  • End users can grant delegates the new permission level in Calendar settings.
  • Existing recurring series will be updated to the strictest visibility setting across the series.
