Share calendar with PowerShell Office 365

  • Article

To share user’s calendar with another users in an origination, we can click the button “Share Calendar” on the top ribbon of menu bar, or run the command ” Add-MailboxFolderPermission” by using Windows PowerShell.

To do this, please perform the steps below:

1. Install and configure Windows PowerShell.
2. Connect Windows PowerShell to Exchange Online

Run the following to authenticate yourself and import PowerShell commands to your local session:

$LiveCred = Get-Credential
$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange-ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell/ -Credential $LiveCred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
Import-PSSession $Session

3. Run the cmdlet below to grant appropriate permission to a user, who can view or edit another one’s calendar.

 

Add-MailboxFolderPermission –Identity <MailboxFolderId> -AccessRight <MailboxFolderAccessRight> -User < MailboxFolderUserId >

Note:
The Identity parameter specifies the recipient and folder that you want to change the permissions for, and the User parameter specifies who's granted permission to view or modify the folder contents of the user specified in the Identity parameter.

 

For example:
This example assigns permissions for Anna to access John's calendar mailbox folder and applies the readitems role to her access of that folder

Add-MailboxFolderPermission –Identity cf@losgrecos.onmicrosoft.com:\Calendar -AccessRight ReadItems -User joannav@losgrecos.onmicrosoft.com

    Thanks! This was great information. I created a security group and then ran this with the group getting permission to various calendars. It worked flawlessly!

    I try something else and worked much better because it gave me full access to someone else calendar.

    $LiveCred = Get-Credential
    $Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange-ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell/ -Credential $LiveCred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
    Import-PSSession $Session
    - In this example below, user2 would be able to open user1 calendar and edit it.
    Add-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity user1@domain.com:calendar -user user2@domain.com -AccessRights Editor
