with sharing a reminder list, although you can check the box to make the
calendar read-only, in which case people will be able to view the calendar but
not create, remove, or edit entries.
Unlike with sharing a reminder list, there's no obvious sign the calendar is
shared unless you right-click the calendar's entry in the list and again select
Sharing Settings to view the pop-out dialog box.
Sharing via iCloud.com
By visiting the iCloud website

and logging in with your Apple ID, you can
share your reminder lists and calendars in a virtually identical way to that
described earlier—select either the Reminders or Calendar icon on the iCloud
home screen, and then select whichever reminder list or calendar you'd like
to share. Finally, click the share icon.
Sharing a calendar is slightly different when using iCloud.com because in
the pop-out dialog box that appears you'll be asked if you want to share the
calendar privately—that is, with people whose emails you type into the dialog
—or share it as a public calendar, in which case absolutely anybody using
Calendar on their Mac can view the calendar in read-only mode if they sub-
scribe to it using the URL provided, which you'll need to manually send to
people via email/instant messaging.
Rescinding Sharing
To deactivate sharing for one or more people or to remove the offer of sharing
if they've yet to respond, follow the previous steps to open the sharing pop-
out alongside the entry in the list in either the Reminders or Calendar app
(or within iCloud). Then simply select the email address in the list and hit
the
DELETE
key, or click the email address and select Remove Person. In the
case of public calendars shared via iCloud, uncheck the Public Calendar box.
The changes should take effect immediately—access to the list or calendar
for the individuals will be rescinded completely, and they will be notified by
email and also via a pop-up notification on their computer.
