Shared Calendar Permissions information

1 Initial Problem

When opening a calendar there is no information about permissions.

Users can be confused, when located in a calendar view (month, week...) they want to create an event but the current calendar is not listed in de dropdown. This is happening because they have only read permissions for this calendar.
If they do not see that in the dropdown they will create this event in the "Personal Calendar" not in the current calendar.

The situation could be worst if user "A" shares with read-only permission the calendar "Personal Appointments" with user B. User "B" visits user "A" "Personal Appointments" and click on one of the (+) icons to create an event. The dropdown will show the option "Personal Appointments". He saves the event but can not see it in the current calendar.
He does not see the new event because it was created in user B "Personal Appointments" calendar not in the current calendar from user "A"

2 Conceptual Summary

Option 1: Hide all the create event options for the calendar because is read only.

Option 2: Indicate somewhere that the calendar is read only. (info message)

Option 3: Additionally, provide the name of the owner somewhere in the view.
