Introduction

This Knowledge Base article provides a step-by-step guide on How to Remove Editing Rights from a Shared Calendar in cPanel. Removing editing rights downgrades a user’s access from read-write to read-only, preventing them from creating, modifying, or deleting calendar events while still allowing them to view the calendar. Use this guide when you need to restrict a user’s calendar permissions without completely removing their access.

Prerequisite

• Access to your cPanel login page.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Log in to cPanel

• Access and log in to your cPanel account using your username and password.

Step 2: Open Calendars & Contacts Sharing

• On the Home page, under Email, click Calendars & Contacts Sharing.

Step 3: Locate the Shared Calendar

• Scroll down to the Shared Collections table.
• Locate the entry for the calendar you want to remove editing rights.

Step 4: Remove Editing Rights

• In the Actions column for that calendar entry, click Disallow Editing.
• The permissions will be updated immediately.

Step 5: Verify the Permission Change

• The Permissions column will update to show read-only access.
• The Disallow Editing button will change to Allow Editing.
• Additionally, you may verify with the user that they can still view the calendar but can no longer edit events.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can remove editing rights from a shared calendar in cPanel. Downgrading permissions allows users to continue viewing calendar information while preventing them from making changes, providing a balanced approach to access control.
