    Overview

    This article will provide a brief overview on how to Get, Add, and Set Calendar permissions in Microsoft Exchange 2013. If you would like a reference to an overview of what the permissions do, I have referenced a cheat sheet below for you.

    This article will mostly focus on doing this through the Exchange Management Shell. PowerShell Cmdlets used in this article can be found below. It will give you some brief commands that you can use to set the permissions. But, it will not go into to much detail on what the Cmdlets will do.

    In this article I will be targeting calendar permissions for user accounts. Yes, a user should be able to grant permissions for their calendar to another user. But, if you can do this and you’re requested to. You can probably just do it and finish up your request.

    Getting Calendar Permissions

    Getting calendar permissions in EMS is pretty simple. You just need to know the following information.

    1. The user Identity
    2. Folder path. (In this case :\Calendar)

    Below is the syntax for the command. This will list all users assigned access right to the Calendar folder for the user. It will also display the folder name. Please replace USERNAME with the username of the user whos permissions you’re checking.

    Get-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity USERNAME:\Calendar

    Adding Calendar Permissions

    This section provides the command for adding calendar permissions to an Exchange mailbox using Exchange Management Shell.

    Add-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity USERNAME:\Calendar -User USERNAME -AccessRights <Permission>

    Editing Calendar Permissions

    This section provides the command for editing calendar permissions in an Exchange using the Exchange Managment Shell.
