Hello Bob Wang,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Support!

To prevent the automatic email from being generated when you add calendar permissions, you can adjust the settings in outlook which might help resolve the issue. Please find the below workaround as mentioned:

• Open Outlook - Launch outlook on your desktop
• Click on "File" tab in the top-left corner
• Click on "Options" to open the outlook options window
• In the "Options" window, go to the "Mail" tab
• Scroll down to "Tracking" section and uncheck the box that says "Automatically process meeting requests and responses to meeting requests and polls"
• Click "Ok" to save your changes

By disabling this option, Outlook will stop automatically generating the email invitation when you add calendar permissions.

Hope this helps.
