Abstract

In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for providing cross-domain access to calendar availability are presented. A request to schedule an event may be received. The request may comprise an identity of an organizer user account, the organizer user account associated with a first domain, and an identity of an invitee user account, the invitee user account associated with a second domain. An importance level of the organizer user account to the invitee user account may be determined. A determination may be made as to whether the organizer user account has access to events in an electronic calendar associated with the invitee user account based on the importance level. One or more events that the organizer account has access to may be surfaced in an event scheduling assistant user interface associated with the organizer user account.
