Question

I am working on setting up all our Office 365 Midsize Business subscription user calendars to be shared / viewable by everyone else. I have 61 users and everyone will be able to see the calendars of the other users. I have a suggested PowerShell script that would add the permission Reviewer for the calendar for each of our "subscription" users:

foreach($user in (Get-Mailbox -RecipientTypeDetails UserMailbox)) {

$cal = $user.alias+":\Calendar"

Add-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity $cal -User viewer@domain.com -AccessRights reviewer

}

I have to change viewer@domain.com for each user account I need to add the permission. Is t here n easier way to go through all my "subscription" user lists??

Hi smlunatick,

Thanks for your posting.

To set permission in 61 users and everyone will be able to see the calendars of the other users, the script below may be helpful for you:

$allUsers = Get-Mailbox | Select Identity ForEach ( $user in $allUsers ) { Get-Mailbox | ForEach { If ( $_.Identity -ne $user.Identity ) { Add-MailboxFolderPermission $($_.SamAccountName)+":\calendar" -User $user.Identity -AccessRights PublishingEditor } } }

The purpose of the script If ( $_.Identity -ne $user.Identity ) is that in case the user in the first foreach loop meets up with himself in the second loop.

For more detailed script, you can also refer to this forum:

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

I now have the calendars shared correctly. It was suggested that I add these office 365 users to a security distribution group. Once in Outlook, I would just need to add the security group and the calendars would show up. Can I somehow "force" this with Power Shell??

Hi smlunatick,

If you had created a new security distribution group, the script below is helpful for you, which make everyone that is a member of that group view the same group memebers calendar.

$GroupMembers = Get-DistributionGroupMember Group1 foreach ($GroupMember in $GroupMembers) { Add-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity (""+ $GroupMember.Guid+ ":\Calendar") -User Group1 -AccessRights Reviewer}

I hope this helps.

Hi,
How do I remove Calendar permission now?? For individual users and Groups ????

You can use Remove-MailboxFolderPermission:

If you have additional questions, you should start up a new thread.

Let me rephrase this. After adding individual permissions for each users and for my group, I now need to remove the permissions and then re-do them.

Let me rephrase this too. Your initial question has been answered (and you've marked an answer), so you should start a new thread for a new question. We try to keep one question per thread here or else things get confusing and overly complicated.

EDIT: Wow. I've never seen someone go so far to not start a new thread. Never mind....

This is quite helpful for me at the moment as I would like to make calendars viewable for a portion of employees. I have a distribution group which is officestaff@domain.com and would like to use this powershell script to allow those members to have viewable calendars within the group only. Does it matter that this is not a security group? Also how do input this group into the script to have it work? Thank you.
