O365 Calendar Setup - Internal Sharing/Viewing (Moving from Google)

[Liam-FD]

Hi all,

 

We are looking at moving from our Google Calendar to Office 365 as we have a O365 tenancy that all staff use for emails etc. The reason for this is so that we can link into teams, create meetings with one another that will automatically be added to 2 or more calendars etc.

 

Our current setup is a Google Calendar that everyone has access to (through a generic Google account rather than G-Suite tenancy) and we have sub-calendars for separate people/groups such as our SBM, site staff, infants, juniors, exec head etc. Anything that is created is public and anything that needs to be private has to be noted down in personal paper diaries.

 

What I would like to do is to utilise the calendar through O365. I'd like people to be able to create their own events for their personal calendar, but also contribute this to the "organisation calendar" if necessary. Is there a way to only share certain events created so as to keep a personal calendar but also contribute on occasion to a "public" calendar? Is there a way to setup certain members, say for example SLT, to have access to our Exec Head's calendar as she has requested (currently using a... word document shared on One Drive!!)

 

Any help much appreciated as our only real experience so far with O365 is for emails but we are wanting to utilise more (teams, sharepoint etc) of O365 moving forward as continue to modernise and streamline our workload.
