Editing a calendar for a coworker

Hi @Liz Downer, 

Good day to you! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. 

Thank you for reaching out. I understand that your supervisor has granted you editing access to her calendar, but you're currently unable to make changes. I’d be happy to help you troubleshoot this issue. 

1/ Permission Level 

• Your supervisor may have shared her calendar with view-only or limited permissions by mistake. 
• To allow editing, she must assign you the “Can edit” or “Delegate” permission level. 

How to check: 

• Your supervisor should go to Outlook > Calendar > Share. 
• Select your name and ensure the permission level is set to “Can edit” or “Delegate”. 

2/ Delegate Access vs. Sharing 

• If your supervisor wants you to manage meeting requests on her behalf, she must set you up as a delegate via: 
• File > Account Settings > Delegate Access in Outlook desktop. 

3/ Using the Correct App 

• Editing permissions work best in the Outlook desktop app or Outlook on the web. 
• If you're using a mobile app or third-party calendar tool, editing features may be limited or unsupported. 

4/ Sync Issues 

• If you're using Outlook desktop, ensure your account is properly synced. 
• Try restarting Outlook or signing out and back in to refresh permissions. 

Notes: 

1 - Ask your supervisor to: 

• Reconfirm the permission level she assigned to you. 
• Use the Outlook desktop or web app to update sharing settings. 

2 - Try accessing her calendar via Outlook on the web at https://outlook.office.com to see if editing works there. 

3 - If the issue persists, please contact your IT support team to: 

• Verify that calendar sharing and delegate access are enabled for your account. 
• Check for any policy restrictions that may be affecting calendar permissions.
