Understanding Calendar Permissions

Learn how calendar admin permissions work and how to transfer events between calendars.

Hi, here is a video which shows an overview of how you can manage events with calendars and how you can transfer an event between calendars.

Calendar Admin Permissions

All admins on a team calendar have equal permissions. There is no "owner" or "primary admin" — every admin can:

Create and manage events
Send newsletters
Manage the guest list and calendar subscribers
Update calendar settings (name, avatar, description, etc.)
Add or remove other admins
Connect or manage payment settings
Delete the calendar

If the person who originally created the calendar leaves or is no longer available, the remaining admins can continue managing everything without any changes.

This is different from events, where there is a designated Creator who cannot be removed or leave. Calendars have no such distinction — all admins are equal.

How Calendars and Events Work

Every event is managed by a primary calendar. By default this is the Personal Calendar of the person who created the event.

The primary calendar of the event determines who has access to the event along with how the event receives Luma Plus benefits.

Transferring an Event Between Calendars

You can transfer the primary calendar of an event. You cannot transfer to another personal calendar, only to a team calendar.

On web: Go to Manage Event > Overview and find the transfer option in the Visibility & Discovery section at the bottom of the page.

On iOS: Open the event's manage page, tap Transfer Calendar, select the destination calendar, and use the slider to confirm.
