For some reason, we are unable to give editor or publishingeditor permissions to a particular users calendar. Here is the testing and the scenario:
By the way, we get the same or similar results in Outlook 2010 but Im describing testing here that weve done with OWA in order to take Outlook client software issues out of the equation.
PublishingEditor permissions have been added to UserXs calendar as follows
add-mailboxfolderpermission userx:\calendar user user1 accessrights publishingeditor
add-mailboxfolderpermission userx:\calendar user user2 accessrights publishing editor
We have granted permissions to multiple users, but none of those users are able to open items, or delete items, or even get anything from right-clicking UserXs appointments in OWA. Users are able to see details of existing appointments beyond just simple availability, but users are not able to edit existing appointments or create new ones.
When you click New Event in OWA, you can select from the calendar drop down, the shared calendars you have permissions to edit. UserXs calendar will not appear in that drop down even though you have publishingeditor permissions. Other users do appear in the list, when appropriate permissions are present, but this one user just will not appear in the list, no matter the permissions.
Using the same method to grant permissions, we are able to create a new user and give permissions to that new users calendar and it behaves as expected for the other users. Using the same method, we are able to give permissions on other existing users calendars and everything behaves as expected.
As best I can narrow this down, it is an issue with this one particular users calendar, which will not share out properly. How do we fix that? Its an existing user with lots of data, we would prefer not to delete the mailbox and create a new mailbox for this user that would be an ordeal for the users. Is there any way to fix an issue like t
