Add and Remove Calendar Editors

Last updated: October 31, 2023

The UW Event Calendar is integrated with the UW Groups service. This integration allows you to give permission to people you choose to edit your departmental calendar, simply by adding or removing their NetIDs from groups that you manage through the UW Groups service. Follow the steps below or watch a video that walks you through adding and removing editors.

Learn more about the UW Groups service.

Note: Any member of an editor group (except shared UW NetIDs) can add or remove other members to or from the same editor group.

Use of shared UW NetIDs for calendar administration is strongly discouraged. Because shared UW NetIDs are used by multiple people, the IDs provide no way of tracing calendar activity to a particular person, which may be warranted in case of misuse.

To add a new member to your calendar editor group, follow these steps:

  1. Go to http://groups.uw.edu. The first time you log in, you may be asked to select two-factor authentication.
  2. Near the top of the page, click My Groups.
    "My groups" link at top of UW Groups page
  3. Locate and select the editor group you want to update (to identify editor groups, look for “-editor” at the end of the name).

  6. When you have added all UW NetIDs, click Do it.
