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. The update is rolling out to Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains starting July 7, 2026.

Update Details

Security

  • Restricted delegate access hides private event details, showing only busy blocks and preventing edits, rescheduling, and search visibility for private events.

New Features

  • New calendar sharing permission level: Make changes (see private events as free/busy).
  • Delegates can create, delete, and edit non-private events while private events remain hidden.

Hints

  • There is no admin control for this feature.
  • Users can grant delegates the new permission level in Calendar settings.
  • Changes to visibility for recurring events now apply to the entire series; single-event visibility changes are no longer supported.
  • Existing recurring series will be updated to the strictest visibility setting used by any event in the series.
