If you do not want to share the same information with the entire organization, untick the box that says “Share this Calendar with Others”.

Below this section , you will see that you are able to share your calendar with groups or individuals. Simply type in the name of each group or individual that you’d like to share with, and set what level of access you’d like them to have – for example, if you want all Employees (Faculty, Staff, and Administrators, but not students) to see “Only Free/Busy”, paste the email address “employees@saintpeters.edu” into the “Enter email address” field, set it to “See only Free/Busy” and then click “Add Person”:

…and they will be added! (you can delete anyone you add by clicking the trashcan icon to the right after they’ve been added to the list). Remember to click “Save” when you’re done!
