Customer needs to transfer ownership of a calendar event

Transfer ownership of a calendar event to another person

If you created an event, you can make someone else its owner. Once someone else is the owner, they can change any of the event details.

  1. On your computer, open Google Calendar.
  2. See the event details by clicking the event you want to change.
    • In Agenda or Monthly view, click the event, then Edit Event.
    • In Day, Week, or 4 Days view, click the event name.
  3. At the top, click the More actions drop-down and then Change owner.
    1. You can also, from the calendar, click the Event once, from the pop-up window, click the 3 dots at the top > Change owner
  4. Enter a new owner and a message to send them.
  5. Click Change owner.
  6. The new owner will get an email with a link. Until the new owner accepts ownership, you will be the event owner.
