Using the Shared Calendar (for those with editing rights)

Not all users have editing or viewing permissions to all calendars. If you cannot edit or view a calendar it means you have no permissions. If you think this is an error please contact techsupport@wiss.cn for assistance. If you have editing permissions then follow the guide here. Otherwise, if you have read-only access to this calendar you may only view the information but not edit it.
