How do calendar permissions affect what Harriet can see or schedule?

The connected user’s calendar scopes and sharing settings determine list, read, and create access.

Calendar behavior in Harriet mirrors the user who connected the calendar and what their provider allows.

What permissions affect

Which calendars appear in list or free-busy style operations (for example personal vs shared team calendars).
Whether Harriet can create events on a given calendar or only suggest times.
Whether event details are visible or only high-level availability—depending on provider settings and consent scopes.

Good practices

Use a service or delegation policy your company already trusts: managers connect their own calendar; shared resources use room calendars according to IT standards.
Document which OAuth scopes you approved during integration setup so security reviews stay simple.

Example

A user connected Google with access to primary calendar only. Harriet will not place events on a team shared calendar until that calendar is shared with the user in Google and visible in their account.

Guardrails

If users report “Harriet cannot see my meeting,” check provider-side sharing before changing Harriet settings.
Reducing scopes in the identity provider may break scheduling features until users re-consent.
