4.9 Publishing Personal Calendars on the Internet

You can select to publish personal calendars to the Internet. When you publish a personal calendar to the Internet, that calendar can then be viewed by anyone on the Internet. When you publish your personal calendar, it is published to your system’s Calendar Publishing Host. For additional information about your Calendar Publishing Host, see your GroupWise administrator.

The ability to publish your personal calendars can be enabled and disabled by your GroupWise administrator. If your GroupWise administrator has disabled the ability to publish personal calendars, this option is not displayed in the GroupWise client.

You cannot publish a calendar under the following circumstances:

  • You cannot publish a calendar created using the New Proxy Calendar option, but you can publish another user’s calendar if you access their GroupWise account using the Proxy function. A calendar published when proxied into another user’s account will be published under that user’s account.

  • Shared calendars can be published only by the owner of the calendar; if you are not the owner of the calendar, you cannot publish it.
