This is a tutorial on adding calendar permissions in Office 365 for your users via Powershell. You can add permissions onto a specific mailbox, or you can add it onto a security group.
Office 365 Calendar Permissions
Step 1
The first is step is to launch Windows Powershell. I recommend running it as Administrator.
Step 2
Run the following command to login to 365 via Powershell and login with your Office 365 admin credentials.
$LiveCred = Get-Credential
Step 3
Now you need to create a new session.
$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell/ -Credential $LiveCred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
Step 4
Now we need to import the session.
Import-PSSession $Session
Step 5
These are the available roles:
- Owner
- PublishingEditor
- Editor
- PublishingAuthor
- Author
- NonEditingAuthor
- Reviewer
- Contributor
- AvailabilityOnly
- LimitedDetails
Now run the following command. 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
