The *Calendars and Contacts Sharing* interface allows you to grant access rights on an email user’s calendar(s) or address book(s). This is useful if you need to manage other people’s calendars or set up shared resources such as conference rooms. In this interface, a [collection](https://docs.cpanel.net/knowledge-base/cpanel-product/cpanel-glossary/#collection) is a set of either events in a calendar or contacts in an address book. A collection may be either standalone or shared with other email users of the cPanel account. # Share a calendar or address book > \[!NOTE] > Note > You can **only** share a calendar or address book if your cPanel account has two or more email accounts. If your cPanel account has only one email account, the interface will display a *No Additional Email Account Exists* message. To create a new email account, click *Create Email Account*. The [*Create an Email Account*](https://docs.cpanel.net/cpanel/email/create-an-email-account) interface will appear. > In a shared calendar, you can **only** invite others to an event if you created it, and you can **only** accept a calendar invitation if the person who created it invited you directly. To share a calendar or address book, perform the following steps in the *Share Collection* section: 1. In the *Select User* menu, select the email user whose calendar or address book you wish to share. 2. In the *Select Collection* menu, select the calendar or address book you wish to share. 3. In the *Share with* menu, select the email user to whom you wish to grant access. 4. Select the *Allow Editing* checkbox to allow the email user to edit the calendar or address book. If you do **not** select this checkbox, the user will **only** have read access to the calendar or address book. 5. Click *Create*. The interface will refresh, and the collection will appear in the *Shared Collections* table. Refer to your mail application’s documentation for instructions on how email users can view the shared calendar or address book. # The Shared Collections table > \[!WARNING] > Remember > In this interface, a [collection](https://docs.cpanel.net/knowledge-base/cpanel-product/cpanel-glossary/#collection) is a set of either events in a calendar or contacts in an address book.
