Setting delegation permissions from powershell

Question
-
It's easy enough for a user to delegate access to their contact list. What i need to be able to do is set that via powershell. Anyone know what the command would be or a link to the info? I've searched but can't seem to find the info.
thanks so much

This should help
Set-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity “UserA:\Calendar” -User “UserB” -AccessRights Editor
Also have a look at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd298062.aspx

Would this also set the option where UserB would receive copies of the meeting as if you are settings delegates through outlook?

I've seen this on other threads; it doesn't work, I'm working with it now to modify it.
Set-MailboxCalendarSettings -Identity CR-LaCareGuestOffice2 -ResourceDelegates (user alias) -ForwardRequestsToDelegates $true
Set-MailboxCalendarSettings is unknown in 2013 - I also tried with Set-MailboxCalendarConfiguration, that got me a little further, but then ResourceDelegates was unknown as well as ForwardRequestsToDelegates is unknown

Add-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity “UserA:\Calendar” -User “UserB” -AccessRights Editor
Everyone is mentioning "Set-MailboxFolderPermission" but that only adjusts existing access. If UserB has never had any permissions to UserA's calendar, you'll need to use "Add-MailboxFolderPermission".
Otherwise you'll get this error:
"There is no existing permission entry found for user:"- Edited by Campbell Kerr Wednesday, June 7, 2017 6:14 AM
