Outlook shared-calendar edit permissions

Fixing shared-calendar permissions that work on the web but not in desktop Outlook.

ExchangeOutlookPowerShell

Goal If a shared calendar works on the web but not in desktop Outlook, verify folder permission separately from client caching.

01

Requirements

  • Exchange management PowerShell access
  • Calendar owner and delegate identities
02

Read current permission

Use Calendar or the localized folder name.

Get-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity "calendar.owner@example.com:\Calendar" |
Format-Table User,AccessRights,SharingPermissionFlags
03

Grant edit access

Editor can create, change and delete calendar items.

Set-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity "calendar.owner@example.com:\Calendar" -User "delegate@example.com" -AccessRights Editor
04

Refresh desktop Outlook

Remove and add the shared calendar again, restart Outlook, then test with a new profile if the web client works.

Get-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity "calendar.owner@example.com:\Calendar" -User "delegate@example.com"
!

Caution

Avoid Owner unless it is truly required; Editor is sufficient for most calendar-management scenarios.
