This guide will walk you through the process of sharing calendars and contacts in cPanel, making it easy for even beginners to follow along.
Understanding Calendar And Contact Sharing In cPanel
cPanel offers features for sharing calendars and contacts using CalDAV and CardDAV protocols. These protocols allow multiple users to access shared calendars and contact lists across various devices, ensuring everyone stays updated.
Accessing Calendar And Contact Sharing Settings
To begin sharing calendars and contacts, you need to access the appropriate section in your cPanel account.
Step 1: Log In to cPanel
Home > Email > Calendars and Contacts
First, log in to your cPanel account. Navigate to the Email section and click on Calendars and Contacts.
Setting Up Calendar And Contact Sharing
Once you’ve accessed the Calendars and Contacts section, you can configure sharing settings for other users.
Step 1: Generate Sharing URLs
Calendars and Contacts > Configure Sharing
In the Calendars and Contacts interface, you will find options to generate sharing URLs. Copy these URLs to share with others who need access to your calendars or contacts.
Step 2: Share The URLs
Share > Send URLs
Send the generated URLs to the individuals you want to share your calendars or contacts with. They can use these URLs to access the shared information on their devices.
Configuring Devices For Shared Calendars And Contacts
After sharing the URLs, the recipients need to configure their devices to access the shared calendars and contacts.
Step 1: Add Shared Calendars
Device Settings > Accounts > Add Account > CalDAV
On the recipient's device, go to settings, select "Accounts," and choose "Add Account." Select CalDAV and enter the provided sharing URL, along with the necessary login credentials.
Step 2: Add Shared Contacts

Similarly, to add shared contacts, select "Add Account," choose CardDAV, and enter the shared URL with the required credentials.
Managing Shared Calendars And Contacts
Once the shared calendars and contacts are configured, you can manage access and make changes as needed.
Step 1: Modify Sharing Permissions

In the Calendars and Contacts section, you can modify sharing permissions to control who has access to view or edit the shared information.
Step 2: Stop Sharing
