Share Calendar - Office 365

[FN-GM]

Hi,

 

Without using public folder and SharePoint does anyone know a way using Office 365 how we can share a calendar to all our staff please? We would like it so only staff can see it.

 

Thanks

Not tried this but....

 

In the Web Access of one user, go to the Calendar tab. At the lower left where it says 'Other calendars', right click it and create a new one - for example "All staff calendar". Then right click this and go to share.

 

When it asks for who to share it with, enter a distribution group name for your staff (if you have one), that should send an invite to everyone.

 

I think!

That's a good idea, but the issue is you will have to manually do this for new members of staff.

We have used a PowerShell command in the past to share a calendar from one individual to another. Perhaps you could adapt it to suit your needs?

 

Start PowerShell session and attach to your mail server with administration rights.

 

To share the calendar that belongs to David Cameron with Alex Salmond working at Westminster School type:

 

Add-MailboxPermission [email protected] -User alex.salmond@westminster.london.sch.uk -AccessRights FullAccess -InheritanceType All

 

This will give the user Alex Salmond full access to David Cameron's Outlook calendar. This worked for us on our Office 365 setup during April last year.
