Set up calendars, contacts and sharing
Connect a calendar client, create a collection and understand delegate permissions.

Before you start
- Use the intended mailbox’s credentials and connection settings.
- Agree who needs read-only or editing access before sharing private collections.
Steps
-
1
Open Calendars and Contacts Management and click Create for a new collection.

Use the collection’s edit action to rename it. Do not delete a collection just to rename it; contained data can be lost.

Open Calendars and Contacts Sharing to manage delegates. Choose the owner, collection and intended recipient, granting only necessary permissions.

Open Calendars and Contacts Configuration. Use its secure server/direct URLs in a CalDAV calendar or CardDAV contacts client, with the indicated account username and password.
Copy secure, account-specific connection settings. -
5
Choose Calendar, Address Book or Task List, enter a Collection Name, and optionally a colour and description. Click Submit when ready.
Choose the collection type and name. -

If No Additional Email Account Exists appears, a separate mailbox is required first.
The sharing screen explains when another email account is required.
Check it worked
- Create a harmless test event or contact in your client and confirm synchronisation.
- Check sharing from the recipient’s account and verify read/edit access matches your intent.
