FAQ: Sync with calendar - restriction for employee users

You can [subscribe(/frequently-asked-questions/calendar/sync-with-calendar/) to the Timebutler calendar in a third-party calendar such as Outlook, Google Calendar, and others. The available options depend on the user type:

Admins
Admin users can choose whether to subscribe to entries for all users, only their own employees, or only their own entries.

Supervisors
Supervisors can choose whether to subscribe to entries of their own employees (with or without extended view permissions) or only their own entries.

Employee users
Employee users can subscribe only to their own entries, not to others’ entries. This also applies when employee users have view permissions for other users in Timebutler.

If you want employee users to also receive other users’ absences, use the following option:
Many calendars, such as Outlook, let you share a calendar with colleagues. An admin can subscribe in Outlook to the Timebutler calendar that includes all entries for all users. The admin then shares the calendar in Outlook with colleagues (availability depends on the Outlook version). Colleagues open Outlook and add the shared calendar.
