Turn Calendar on or off for users

As a Calendar administrator, you can control who in your organization uses Google Calendar from their account. People who have Calendar turned on can use it to manage and share schedules from their account.

To receive and process external Calendar invites, make sure the Gmail service is turned on. Also, if you aren't using Gmail as your primary email system, Calendar can only process external calendar invites that are forwarded from the primary email system to Gmail.

Note: If Calendar is turned off, people don't see upcoming meetings in the My meetings section of Meet in the integrated Gmail experience. Learn more about integrated Gmail.

To control who uses Calendar in your organization

1. Sign in to your Google Admin console.

   Sign in using your administrator account (does not end in @gmail.com).

   
2. From the Admin console Home page, go to AppsG SuiteCalendar.

3. At the top right of the gray box, click Edit Service .

4. To turn on or off a service for everyone in your organization, click On for everyone or Off for everyone, and then click Save.

   1. At the left, select the organizational unit.
   2. Select On or Off.
   3. Click Override to keep your setting if the service for the parent organizational unit is changed.
   4. If Overridden is already set for the organizational unit, choose an option:
