The process of viewing and sharing calendar data is a bit different in Zimbra than it was in the old WebCal Lite or Convergence tools. In those tools if you wanted to see (subscribe to) a calendar, you had to search for it. If the owner had set the calendar permissions correctly, you were allowed to subscribe. Zimbra handles the sharing of calendars differently.
With Zimbra, you can share your calendar information with other people and give them one of the following access privileges:
- LPS users or groups. You select the type of privileges to grant, either:
- Viewer. The Grantee can see the activities posted to your calendar and the status of meeting requests, but cannot make any changes to your calendar.
- Manager. The Grantee has permission to create meetings on your calendar, accept or decline invitations, and edit and delete activities from your calendar.
- Admin. The Grantee has permission to create meetings on your calendar, accept or decline invitations, edit and delete activities from your calendar, share your calendar with others and remove other Grantees from your shared calendar.
- None is an option to temporarily disable access to a grantor’s shared calendar without revoking the share privileges. The Grantee still has the calendar in their calendar list but cannot view or manage activities on the grantor’s shared calendar.
- External guests. You create a password to access your shared calendar. Guests must enter this password to view the calendar. They cannot make changes to the calendar.
- Public. Anyone that knows the URL to the shared calendar can view it. They cannot make changes to the calendar.
Share your Calendar
- Right-click [control+click] on the calendar you wish to share and select ‘Share Calendar’. Your default calendar is called ‘Calendar’.
Right-Click (or Control+click) on the calendar you wish to share.
- On the ‘Share Properties’ dialog select whom to share your calendar with.
Options abound within the calendar's sharing properties!
In most cases you will be sharing with Internal users so you will leave the setting set to Internal.
- Next type the email address of a user that you wish to share with (you can add more than one person by separating the email addresses with a comma).
- Select the user role that this person or persons will have on this calendar. If it is your Personal calendar than in most cases other people will simply be viewers of your calendar, if it is someone that must add or remove events from a calendar (such as a meeting calendar) then they will need to have at least Manager role. The Admin role allows a user to add and remove permissions on the calendar as well.
- Click OK

You can provide access to your calendar using the link options below. Those wishing to publish their calendar to a web page will want to grant Public access above and then use the View link on WordPress, Contribute, etc
ICS: Allows them to subscribe with a calendaring tool (iCal, Outlook, Google Calendar, etc.)
VIEW: Allows them to see a web page view of your calendar data.

Accepting access to shared calendar
If you receive an email notice that you have been granted access to share another person’s calendar, you can accept or reject the share. When you accept the share, the shared calendar displays in your Calendar list.
To accept access to a shared calendar
- Click Accept Share in the email. This is typically found at the very top-left corner of the message. The Accept Share dialog opens and describes the role granted to you. Note: you can only view the Accept button using Zimbra. You will no be able to view the button, nor accept the share using programs like Thunderbird.
- Before you accept you can customize the calendar name and select a color for messages to be displayed. (Or you can do this at a later time by right-clicking (control+click) on the name of the calendar.)
- Check the Send mail about this share, if you choose to send a confirmation of your acceptance back to the Grantor. (optional)
- Click Yes. The new shared calendar is added to your Calendar list. The message is automatically moved to your Trash folder.
