  1. Hello Satheshwaran, Thank you for a good article. I was wondering if it will be possible to restrict calendar permissions for a certain user. lets say Hank. So, if “default” has Editor rights it will count for all users, including Hank. But I want hank to have free/busy only. I can set the perisssion and Hank is listed as free/busy, but “defaults” permission overrules and gives Hank Editor rights. Is there a way to set a deny permission for Hank?

  2. Hi Satheshwaran,
    You helped me a great deal with this. I still have a prolem with Calendar rights. Default rights are assigned to LimitedDetails. However some users already had AvailabilityOnly or LimitedDetails assigned to some mailboxes. How do I remove all AvailabilityOnly/LimitedDetails rights for those users on these mailboxes?

    Thanks in advanse,

    Victor

  3. Hi Satheshwaran,

    I am trying to figure out a way of using the Get-MailboxFolderPermission command to get all mailbox calendar permissions without having to specify a single Identity as above.

    Thanks

    It is posible in some way to do this in Exchange Management Console or in Powershell??
    Thank you very much

  5. That’s really helpful. Thanks. Any suggestions for a similar process in Exchange Online using Office 365 Groups. So all members in the group can e.g. be a Reviewer for each others calendar?
