Users can access shared calendars in Microsoft Outlook.

> ℹ️ Your access to a calendar will depend on the permissions granted to your account:
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ - **Read-only** access allows you to view existing entries, but it does not allow you to make changes.
> ℹ️ - **Authors** may create and edit their own entries.
> ℹ️ - **Editors** may add their own and edit all other entries.

## Accessing from the web

1. Navigate to [email.uconn.edu](https://email.uconn.edu/) and click on **Outlook**.
2. Log in with your UConn email credentials.
3. Click the **calendar** icon in the top left corner.
4. On the** Calendars** page, select **Add Calendar**.
  
5. Select **Add from directory** in the left-hand menu and enter the shared calendar into the field. This can be added using the resource number (e.g., resource4370) or display name (e.g., ~UITS - Help Center Training Schedule).
6. Select which calendar group you would like to add it to using the drop-down menu and click the **Add** button.
