SharePoint Shared Calendar - Users can't see each others items

Question

This is driving me crazy, we did this in the on prem version of SharePoint, but it doesn't seem to work in O365 SharePoint. Here's what we are trying to do:

1. User posts item to calendar
2. Owner/manager of the calendar approves/rejects
3. We want all members to be able to see approved

This used to work. Now when we do it, you post, get approved, but only the author sees their own item. They don't see anyone else's approved items. We need to see this in order to schedule.

I have the rights set correctly from what I can see, users can add, they can edit their own items, I have require content approval. in version settings In advanced I have Read Access set to Read All Items, and Create and edit items that were created by the user. This is exactly how it was set up on the old system.

If you look at the lists or any view other than the calendar (which is the view everyone needs in order to plan) you see the items. But switch to Calendar views and you only see your own items. I'm even an Owner and all I see is my own stuff, but I see the whole list in the approve/reject view. This is making me nuts. Does anyone have an idea what's changed and how I can change it to allow all approved items to show on a calendar??

Thank you for any assistance!

Hi Curt,

Based on your description, I’d like to confirm whether you are refereeing the Calendar App added by going Site content> Add an app. If so, please try the steps below to check the outcome:

1.Login to the issued calendar as a Site Administrator.

2.Go to Calendar tab> List settings> General Settings> List name, description and navigation> Group Calendar Options.

3.Check whether it has been selected as Yes. If so, select No and click Save.

If it is not your scenario, please help confirm the following information:

1.Please try to add a new calendar app to check whether the issue persists.

2.Please go to Calendar tab> List settings> Permissions and Management> Permission for this list> Check Permissions. Then, check the permission of one end user and share a screenshot similar as below with us:

3.Regarding “I'm even an Owner”, are you the Site Administration of the team site or just the owner of the calendar app.
