IT Admin Change Calendar Google Workspace

Owned secondary calendars are automatically shown in users' calendar lists

Google Calendar now always displays secondary calendars a user owns in their calendar list, so owners can manage sharing and lifecycle directly.

Announced

Effective from

27 January 2026

Who is affected

All Google Workspace users who own secondary calendars. Rollout to Workspace domains started January 27, 2026.

Admin roles to involve: Google Workspace super admin

Why no action is required

No action required — the change applies by default to all users. It helps owners notice secondary calendars they are responsible for, which supports the October 2026 secondary-calendar lifecycle change: encourage users to review the calendars now visible in their list and hand off any they own on behalf of a team.

What happens if this is ignored

None — this is a display/ownership-visibility change with no configuration impact.

Why this is rated low: severity comes from a fixed rubric — this entry is a feature change that requires no administrator action. Time-to-deadline is shown separately and never changes the rating.
