How can i delegate access to my iCloud calendar to my administrative assistant who works on a pc platform and is not on iCloud herself?

I have exactly the same requirement. Any help is greatly appreciated.

ICal opens with Delegate Calendar

I made a few changes to my iCal installation, trying to retrieve some Exchange calendars that I have shared access to and get my calendar colors to match on my iPad and iPhone. Now when I open iCal, it defaults to a shared Google calendar, rather than my main calendar view. What did I change, and how can I change it back? I've already tried closing the program with the main calendar view open, no change on the next open.

Found my own solution right after posting my question...I selected my delegate calendar from the window menu, and simply "closed" it. Now iCal opens with the main calendar view.

Delegate Calendars wont show in wiki?

10.6 server will not show the delegate calendars via the wiki access but ical brings them up fine.... Solutions?
Ditto with ical on Iphone4s....

I've got this problem too. And I use the same tactics described here: delete the folder: user/Library/Appication Support/iCal; plus the preference file: user/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist. I have also deleted all events that repeat indefinitely (including the American Holidays calender I subscribed to).
When I restart iCal, at first I see an empty weekly panel, with just two start-up calendars, Work and Home, showing in the pane at the left. Then after 6-8 seconds, my other calendars appear, and the weekly panel fills with events. Everything has been restored.
However, if I close and re-open iCal, I have to go through the same process to get my calendars and events back.
This is a pain in the neck. Does Apple know about it?

Some Google delegate calendars won't appear within iCal

Strange. My main Google calendar syncs just fine with iCal. So does the Google Holiday calendar (which is a delegate.) I added the St. Louis Rams and St. Louis Blues calendars as delegates. They appear in the delegate window in iCal preferences and, when I checkmark them there, also appear in the calendar list within iCal. Trouble is, the actual events contained in the sports calendars are not displayed in iCal, for example, a Rams game scheduled for Sunday at 4:05pm doesn't appear at all. I did check and those events are displayed correctly on the web-based Google calendar. Any ideas as to a fix are appreciated.

Similar problem here. I can select the delegate calendars within iCal, but it simply doesn't sync any events for the delegate calendars. I'm also returned an error if I try to manually subscribe to the calendars, e.g. using a direct link from the Google calendar settings.
Either way, I think it's all related to a known block Google have implemented to deal with an iCloud conflict. Keep an eye here for a solution...although it's been several months already obviously:
http://support.google.com/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en-GB&answer=99360#
The iPhone select utility should get things rolling on any iOS devices. See:
https://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect
NB. You must do it individually from each individual iOS device.

Getting alarms for events in delegate calendar, but alarm not set in event

I use iCal as a front-end to Google Apps calendar (gCal). I am using the CalDAV interface to gCal. I set up iCal to sync 1) with my gCal and 2) with 2 other gCals, of business associate, via iCal delegates. This is mostly working. In iCal I see the events for all 3 calendars and syncing seems OK.
The problem is that for one of the delegate calendars, I get Alarm pop-ups for every event scheduled by that colleague. In most cases I am not an attendee in the event. When I look at the event settings, in this delegate calendar, the "Alarm" is set to none.
I'd really like to stop getting this extraneous Alarm pop-ups. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Actually, not quite ditto. I am not using gCal. I have a CalDAV server, with two calendars served, my wife's and mine. Each of us is a delegate of the other. On iCal on her computer, she has "ignore alerts" set for all my calendars, and this works. However, she gets the alerts on her iphone. I cannot find an option to "ignore alerts" for the iPhone calendar app. What am I missing here?

Calendar Access Issue

Hello,
We are in the process of migrating our mailboxes from 2010 to 2013. In the process of the same I encountered an issue. There is a user, suppose A, whose mailbox has been migrated to 2013 where as one of the user, suppose B, whose mailbox is still in 2010.
B has the calendar access rights (owner) for A's calendar. After the migration the rights don't work anymore. B cannot make any appointments in A's calendar like she user to do before. Is there any work around for this? We need a solution for this since B's
mailbox migration isn't scheduled till the next month.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
We need to check whether the permission is configured properly:
Get-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity [email protected]:\Calendar -User UserB
If the permission is configured properly, please check whether B can open A’s Calendar in OWA. If the issue doesn’t happen in OWA, we can remove A’s Calendar from B’s Outlook and recreate a new Outlook profile to have a try.
If the issue persists in OWA, please remove the folder permission and re-add it again to have a check.
Thanks,
Winnie Liang

How do you delegate calendars in the new iCal?

The ability to delegate calendars was significant in deciding to roll out Leopard in our studio. However, I find no documentation in iCal or the manual regarding how to do that. What gives?

Yes, Apple's support site says look at iCal help but there's nothing in there about delegation.

Can't see delegate calendars on iPad

Hi,
I have Mountian lion 10.8.5 server, iCal server.
I am not able to see the delegates calender on iPad.
Thanks,
Prem

Was experiencing the same problem. Was using Exchange calendars with delegates. I just updated my iPad and just received iPhone 4s. Delegate calendars do show on iPad but not on iPhone 4s. Exact same calendar account settings on both. Thought it must be some glitch in iOS5.0 for iPhone.
Decided to change iPhone back to GoogleSync for delegates. Just had to go to https://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect and choose which calendars to sync. Disabled my original Exchange account on iPhone. All sorted now.

Delegate calendars from exchange in Calendar

Dear All,
I'm having this strange issue since upgrading to Mountain Lion. I see all calendars from my delegates (via an exchange server) in my calendar screen. I can unselect my own calendar in the menu and my appointements would disapear, but I can't unselect all my delegates calendars - all of their appointements are permanently visible. With 8 calendars permanently visible - I can't see my own appointements.
The interesting thing is, these get only updated when I open a delegate's calendar via "Window - name of delegate". A second window pops-up with that calendar only, and the data is added to my main screen. Drives me crazy - this used to work perfectly under Lion.
The Apple support desks claims it's normal...
Anybody here has the same issue?
Thanks!

Hi All,
This solved my issue (and maybe yours).
Went to calendar preferences, Accounts, selected the exchange account, hit the tab "delegation" and selected show for all of them.
Even though they were all showing already, I now could unselect them in the "calendar list" and they would disapear.
Hope this makes sense.
Yeay...
T.

Unable to add delegate calendars in iCal

I'm using OS 10.6.7 and am on an Exchange 2010 server and have it hooked into iCal. It shows my calendar just fine, but when I go into preferences->account->delegation and hit the plus button to add a delegate, I can enter a username of a delegate into the appropriate field, but when I click away (hitting the "enter" key just goes down a line, which is odd for when I'm entering what should be a single-line item) , the text I've just entered disappears and I'm left with an empty list. So, effectively, I cannot add a delegate exchange calendar to iCal.
I know that permissions for the exchange calendar are correct serverside, because I can view the delegate's calendar just fine from Exchange webmail. It's just in iCal that it won't add. Any ideas? I have tried deleting and re-adding the exchange account in iCal, and that doesn't help.

iCAL (Calendar) may be unable to access a shared calendar if the person's access to it is defined using a group that contains another group to provide access.. The access must be an account within the membership of the group not a group entered as a member of the group.
For example: SharedCalendarA has a group named All-Teams with Reviewer access. All-Teams has a Red-Team, Green-Team, etc groups listed in it. PersonA's account is listed in Red-Team. PersonA may not be able to access ShardCalendarA since All-Teams is being used to control access. However, if Red-Team is used instead access will work. It seems iCAL is unable to resolve access for security groups within groups. The group being used MUST have the person's account listed in it.
I thought this is worth passing along since Outlook 2011 for Mac and OWA work with groups within group access but iCAL may be having an issue with extra level security access.

Adding delegate calendars to Sunbird

Heres the setup
One server with multiple users, each user has their own calendar, accessible via ical and sunbird. I also have one group with multiple calendars.
I have my username setup as a delegate on the group calendar and have created a multiple calendars under this group.
How can I access the additional calendars under this group in Sunbird?
main group calendar is at http://servername:8008/calendars/groups/calname/calendar

Jay,
As you have already noted, "Subscribed" calendars are no longer included in the published calendar.
One work around is to use iCal>File>Export... for the subscribed Calendar. Then use iCal>File>Import... on the file that you just exported. The imported calendar can then be added to your published group.
After accomplishing the import, you can delete the previously subscribed calendar, and the .ics file that you created with the export and used for the import.
One obvious problem with this method is that in order to prevent duplicates, you will have to turn off the Birthday Calendars in Address Book, and be mindful of any updates that you make in that application.
The Holidays calendar should remain current for the foreseeable future, but DVD and Movie releases will be correct only for a short period of time.
;~)

Delegate Calendar Entries disappear seconds after creation

Environment.
Exchange 2010 on prem. Office 2013. CEO and COO have the same Executive Assistant. This person has Manage Full Access Permissions for both CEO and COO.
She regularly adds calendar events to either persons calendar without issue for the past 5 months since she started. Until today. Now, on either calendar, as soon as she creates a Meeting or Appointment, it disappears after 3-10 seconds.
Ran the repair process on Office. Same issue. Removed the Manage Full from both accounts and added it back. Same issue. Had both CEO and COO manually give her delegate access through Outlook. Same issue.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I was faced with the exact similar problem of my COO sharing her calendar with 2 admin assistants whereby one of them was having issues updating
the calendar as they would vanish within 20-25 seconds after creation whereas the other assistant was successfully able to do so without any problems even though she was also on cached mode.
After banging our heads with zillion’s of tests of profile, online mode, offline mode, new profiles, New Laptop, New Configuration, Active Sync
devices such as Apple, BB, Androids and going through lot of hue and cry on forums, I opened up a call with Microsoft and they pointed me to Exchange 2010 registry entries which eventually did the job. I would only like to summarize my solution which is:
Refer to
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff477612(v=exchg.141).aspx
for default values which will be altered in the solution.
Event ID 9646 was being logged under my application event
viewer indicating the following error
Mapi session “ “ exceeded the maximum of 500 objects of type "objtFolder".
RESOLUTION:
To resolve this issue, you simply need to create the following registry keys on each of your mailbox servers.
Navigate to HKLM > System > CurrentControlSet > Services > MSExchangeIS > ParametersSystem. Create a new key in ParametersSystem
named MaxObjsPerMapiSession. In MaxObjsPerMapiSession, create a DWORD named
objtFolder with a decimal value of 600.
Please note that the DWORD keys should have the same upper and lower case combination therefore copy it from the article above and paste
in your registry.
The Information Store will pick up these changes after a few minutes; you do not need to restart the Information Store service. If you continue
to see this error, only this time specifying that the user has exceeded the new 600 object threshold, increase the value of each DWORD by 100 until the errors stop.
Similarly, you can see Event ID 9646 indicating other objects also being exceeded as per the above Tech Note and similarly registry entries need
to be keyed in resolve the issue.
You will also have to see the user side Sync Issue logs under outlook as they keep indicating various error codes which relate to these problems
and many more. At times we tend to ignore such logs however are very meaningful.
Sharing this to minimize a lot of headaches for fellow colleagues who should not suffer the way we did.

Need help trying to have more than one delegate calendar display in iCal and on mobile devices

I have several calendars that are under my user name in Google. They all work as delegates and life is good.
I'm trying to set up the local school with a calendar for the sports schedule as well as a separate one for district events like school board meetings and would like to be able to add one for the holidays, exams and things of that nature. The sports calendar works but I can't figure out how to add the second caledar to iCal or my iPhone. It shows shared but doesn't appear as a possible delegate in iCal and will not load on the iPhone.
Google has the output to allow more than one calendar to display on a website but syncing at the level I want with the "i" apps isn't obvious.
Am I missing something? I really don't want one very cluttered master calendar for the school. Being able to turn on and off the various types of calendar will make it much easier to manage.

Can't use Calendar: Access to account "iCloud" is not permitted.

I recently have been experiencing this error:
The server responded with an error.
Access to account “iCloud” is not permitted.
The server responded:
“403”
to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation.
It occurs repeatedly every two seconds and I can't get the dialog to dismiss or go away. My calendars work on fine on my iPhone 6 and iPad mini but on the mac, it gives this error. I tried creating a new user account on the mac, starting fresh but as soon as I log into iCloud and then open calendar, the dialog is back. I suspect there is something wrong on the server site of things. I had some fradulent charges on my iCloud account that Apple cleared up for me. Then they disabled my account (I guess this is something they do when a dispute occurs) and I've had to contact them twice to get them to clear it up. This error started to appear around the same time. I also tried to update to Yosemite but that didn't fix it either. I've deleted all my calendars and created a new one via iCloud.com. Still there. I've found some others online who have had the same issue without success. Is there any hope to get the calendar working again? Help!?

Alex,
Quit Calendar, turn off your internet connection, then paste this text ~/Library into the Finder Menu>Go>Go to Folder...window and select "Go." This will open the Users Library Folder.
Open the Calendars Folder which is in that Library Folder, and move any any files with "Cache" listed in the name field to your Desktop.
Next open the Preferences Folder in that same Library Folder and move the com.apple.iCal.plist file to the Desktop.
Log out/in or restart reconnect the internet and open Calendar.

Outlook 2007 denied calendar access when shared by other outlook 2007 users....

i have exchange 2010 with latest sp. we use outlook 2013/2010/2007 on windows os's vista through 8.1. Calendar sharing via setting explicit permissions in outlook 2010/2013 works fine. in outlook, select calendars, right click calendar, set explicit permissions
for user you want to share calendar with to Free/busy/subject/location. works ok for 2010 and 2013. However Outlook 2007 client does same and the other outlook 2007 intended recipient gets "you dont have permission to access xxxx calendar. DO you want
to send a request?" WHen you send a request you are automatically granted "Reviewer" permission to the mailbox. Our staff dont want to give that much detail. Is this a bug or config error? I expected to set the permissions on a users calendar
to a mailgroup and share it using the free/busy/subject/location permission set. SO i was surprised to see this didn't work and generated the permission error + request permission email. any ideas would be appreciated.
The main reason to share this way is to avoid giving reviewer permission to everyone you share with.
Also please note that an Outlook 2013 user who uses the method above to set permissions for groups will have other outlook 2013 users view his calendar based on the permissions set. Outlook 2007 clients still get permission denied...do you want to request
permission...
After more testing I found that upgrading to outlook 2010 seems to work. I would prefer to avoid the cost of the upgrade if possible however it seems that Outlook 2010 works correctly and Outlook 2007 does not.

Hi,
My understanding is that no matter the calendar owner shares the calendar via Outlook 2013 or Outlook 2007, the Outlook 2007 recipient can't open the calendar and receive the message to send a request, am I correct? If yes, please let me explain.
In short, it is by design in Outlook 2007. In Outlook 2007 with Exchange 2007(and later), the "Free/Busy time" and "Free/Busy time, subject, location" permissions only apply when checking the user's free/busy information (for example,
when looking in the Scheduling tab of a meeting request) and not when looking in another user's Calendar folder.
To workaround this issue, when sharing the calendar in Outlook, please add "Folder visible". Thus the Outlook 2007 recipients should be able to open the shared calendar.

Melon Chen
