Create & share a group calendar  |  Calendar  |  Google Workspace Help

  • Administrators at work or school can create group calendars in Google Calendar to share with people in their organization.
  • Group calendars are commonly used for things like company holidays and organization-wide meetings.
  • The person who creates the calendar owns it, and the owner’s organizational policies also apply to the calendar.
  • If a group is invited to an event, a copy of that event is stored and processed under the top organization’s data policies.
  • To restrict a calendar to specific people, admins should first place them in a separate group.
  • A group calendar is created in Google Calendar by choosing Create new calendar, entering the name, description, and time zone, then clicking Create calendar.
  • A calendar can be shared with everyone in the organization by enabling Make available for your organization.
  • A calendar can also be shared with a specific person or group through More settings and sharing.
  • Users can be invited by email with an Add to calendar link, or they can subscribe using the calendar’s Calendar ID.
  • Starting in early 2026, deleting a group calendar’s owner will also delete the calendar, so Google recommends transferring calendars before deleting users.
