what is the default user in outlook calendar permissions?

Hi all, what is "default" in the terms of permissions in outlook - please see the screen shot below

I need to give everyone access to my calendar but i do not understand the outlook permissions feature

Any suggestions would be much appreciated

thanks

By giving "Default" permissions in your calendar, you're giving them to everyone on the Exchange server.

For example, if you want everyone to be able to view the details of your appointments, you can give Default access to read "Full Details".

If you also want them to be able to create appointments in your calendar, tick the appropriate check boxes under Write.

Perfect answer. Thank you.

The bigger question (for MS) is why didn't they name Default to be Anyone? That would seem to be more intuitive.

Hi do you know where the documentation is for this?  Would be reassuring the know that this isn't opening up the calendar to anyone with my email address!


Would be better if it was called 'Others on exchange server'
