Create a shared calendar based on dynamic groups

Our organisation has around 500 people. We are looking to create a organisation-wide shared calendar. We have been thinking about making a shared mailbox, but since you can't add dynamic groups to mailboxes, we would need to add each individual user account to the mailbox.

Is it possible to make a shared calendar in Sharepoint where only users in a certain dynamic group can have access to it?

Thanks in advance!

    Hi @Bram Stelt ,

    Good day! Welcome to Q&A forum.

    You can create a shared calendar in SharePoint that's accessible only to members of a specific dynamic group. Here's how to implement this solution:

    1. Add a Calendar list: In your SharePoint site, go to Site Contents → New → List Choose "Calendar" template Configure your calendar columns as needed
    2. Set permissions:

    Go to List Settings → Permissions for this list

    Stop inheriting permissions from the parent site

    Remove existing permissions

    Add your dynamic security group with "Edit" or "Contribute" permissions

    Hope these information helps.
