Ok, I think I have to explain our basic structure first:

You can have private and public calendars. Calendars are container for 
events.
If you do not assign any user or group to a calendar it's a public 
calendar which doesn't need any login to present it's events.

If you assign a user and/or group to a calendar only according people 
will be able to see the events belonging to this calendar.
Events inside a private calendar are by default editable by those 
"owning" the calendar (sure, the fe-editing has to be enabled for those 
too).

Now, there are some specialties: An event can get additional owners, who 
get the same rights as the calendar owner. If its a public calendar, the 
event can be seen by everyone and be manipulated by the addition owner.

One feature I'm currently working on: free & busy view of a calendar.
-> a private calendar can be enabled to present it's events in terms of 
available / not available (hiding the event information, but presenting 
the start and end date & time) to the public or to certain users and/or 
groups.

So far for the basics ;)

Besides that there are still TYPO3 page- / content-access options to 
allow further combinations

No, not for events, but there is something similar for meetings:

A scheduled meeting can be inserted in the calendars of it's attendees 
after those have accepted the meeting via email.

BUT: if you want to have an event seen by many people, please consider 
creating a general calendar and restrict the access through TYPO3 options.

Regards,
Mario
