hi

i'd like to give 1 or 2 people access to EVERYONE'S "private" access in their outlook calendar views.  i can do this simply on a single account basis but with 200 + users this will take an age.  can this be done in a powershell or similar.

thanks, elliott 

You can do it via EWS, check for example this module: http://www.flobee.net/delegate-management-module-updated-to-support-exchange-online/

Hi Elliott,

According to your description, I understand that you want to change the default calendar permission(the default setting is Free/Busy Time) for every users in your environment.
If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Please try to run following command to achieve your goal:

Foreach ($Mailbox in (Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited)) {Set-MailboxFolderPermission -identity "$($Mailbox.Name):\Calendar" -AccessRights LimitedDetails -User Default}

Use the following table to match Microsoft Outlook permissions with the access permissions that Microsoft Exchange Server uses:

hi

what i'm after is the "delegate permissions" change

so that:

calendar - editor

delegate receives copy etc UNTICKED

tasks - none

inbox - none

contacts -none

notes - none

journal - none

automatically send etc UNTICKED

delegates can see my private items TICKED

hope that clarifies

ps i don't want to be running scripts - i don't mind powershells though!

thx :)

Hi,

Sorry for my mistake, I understand that you want to add 1 or 2 user with editor permission to everyones calendar.

You can run following command to achieve your expectation, for example add user One with Editor permission to everyones calendar:
Foreach ($Mailbox in (Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited)) {Add-MailboxFolderPermission -identity "$($Mailbox.Name):\Calendar" -AccessRights Editor -User One}

You cannot give access to PRIVATE items via regular PowerShell cmdlets. Unless you want to do it manually from Outlook, you have to use EWS and the module I linked above has the cmdlets precooked for you.
