    • Depending on the level of permission you are given, you may be able to create/delete events on these, or only view them.

  • Resource Calendars:

    • These calendars are created by MLML IT and are used for resources rather than personal or group schedules. Resource calendars can be for reserving rooms, or vehicles, or equipment.
    • They will show up on your left sidebar under under Other calendars.
