   Here is what the different options mean:

   Option	What it Does
   Can view when I'm busy	Calendar entries will be shown as blocks of time where I am either "busy" or "available". Users cannot view titles, locations, or other details that I have saved to each event.
   Can view titles and locations	Users will be able to see the information that I have entered in the title and location fields of my event, but no other details.
   Can view all details	Users can see all of the information about the events in m calendar.
   Can edit	Users will be able to edit the information and events in my calendar.
   Delegate	Users can see all of the details in my calendar, edit it, and share it with other people.

   
   You can change the permissions at any time, as explained in the "Changing How People can View your Calendar" section.
   
   If you change your mind and do not want to share your calendar at the moment, click on the Trash Can Icon to the right of "Share".
   
   

7. Click Share to save your selections.

The user will receive an email stating that you shared your calendar with them. They can also add the calendar without accepting since you have already given them permission.

If they are not using Outlook in a web browser, they may need to log into the browser version.

You're done! This user will now be able to view your calendar with whatever permissions you have given them. These permissions can be changed at any time, and you can stop sharing your calendar with them at any time.
