SharePoint Online events not loading for special permission unless added as site visitor/member
The issue you are facing is due to the way SharePoint Online handles permissions for events. When you add users to the events list permission, they are only granted permission to view the list. They do not automatically have permission to view the events in the calendar view.
To fix this, you need to add the users to the Site Members or Site Visitors group. This will give them permission to view the events in the calendar view.
Here are the steps to do this:
- Go to the SharePoint site where the events list is located.
- Click on Settings > Permissions.
- In the Permissions page, click on the Advanced permissions settings link.
- In the Permission Levels section, click on the Add a permission level link.
- In the Add a permission level dialog box, select the View events check box.
- Give the permission level a name and click on the Create button.
- In the Permissions page, select the Site Members or Site Visitors group.
- Click on the Check permissions button to see the permissions that have been granted to the group.
- Make sure that the View events check box is selected.
- Click on the OK button to save the changes.
Once you have done this, the users who are members of the Site Members or Site Visitors group will be able to see the events in the calendar view.
I hope this helps!
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Lalit Mohan when i go to permission levels > edit permission levels VIEW EVENTS isn't showing in the list to select?
- I've got the same issue. I don't see that option anywhere in the permission levels settings.
FIXED THE ISSUE
--------------------------
Sounds like you have switched on the "Group Calendar Options" for your calendar. These add new content types to the calendar ("Schedule", "Reservations", and "Schedule and Reservations") in addition to the standard "Event" content type. These new content types each come with their own specific behaviour. Yor screen shot showing the Attendees field looks like it's using the "Schedule and Reservations" content type.
To check this, go to the "Title, description and navigation" settings page for the calendar (this is the first option under "General Settings" on the List Settings page). You will see two settings in the "Group Calendar Settings" sections. Set both of these settings to NO. This will remove the special content types from the calendar - you will be left with only the standard "Event" content type, which should then behave like you are expecting (ie, everyone can see all events).
Hi Lalit Mohan ,
I can't be able to view "View event" option in permission level. in my case read access users can't be able to view the events in _layouts/15/Events.aspx page(Hub site).
- Well I have checked the individual events in the events list and they are also inheriting the permission of events list so basically all the users do have access to them if I give them just the events list access.
But still they cant see
and talking about adding them in the Site visitor/member group, this is something I need to avoid for now as they shouldnt be able to see the entire site but just the events
