Question

Hi,

I have created a shared mailbox which we use just for the calendar.. it works really well as the categories get shared and the staff who need access get it via the EAC and the mailbox delegation option... which also automaps it.

What I need it to share this shared mailbox with the rest of the staff in read only status and get it automapped in Outlook.

I can do this with a mailbox fine using

Add-MailboxPermission -Identity sw@******* -User ns@*******-AccessRights FullAccess -InheritanceType All -AutoMapping $true

I can't find the right syntax for sharing a shared mailbox, I would prefer just to shared the calendar part and get it automapped.

I've tried below.

Add-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity "our junior school calendar:\Calendar" -user trh@********" -AccessRights Reviewer -AutoMapping $true

First, set the permissions

Set-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity alias:\Calendar -User UsertoGetRights -AccessRights Reviewer

Then add the mailbox folder permissions

Add-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity "Alias:\Calendar" -user trh@********" -AccessRights Reviewer -AutoMapping $true

Let us know if this works.

Hi,

Adding mailbox folder permission doesn't have AutoMapping feature, use this command to add mailbox folder permission on shared mailbox for user mailboxes, then users must add shared mailbox's calendar manually via Outlook/owa.
