Each person in your organization that you share your calendar with is sent an invitation in an email message telling them that you've shared your calendar.

The invitation also includes a URL that can be used to access the calendar.

The calendar displays under People's calendars.

The only exception to this is that you can give a delegate permission to see the details of items marked Private.
