# allowsEditing

A Boolean that determines whether the user may edit the event.

## Declaration

```swift
var allowsEditing: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion If false (the default), the event is not editable. If true, an Edit button appears, allowing the user to change properties of the event. This property applies only to events in calendars created by the user. For example, it doesn’t apply to invitations sent by another user.
