Permissions required to search a shared calendar?

I can view the shared calendar in my Outlook session, but whenever I attempt a search of calendar items, Outlook defaults back to my own mailbox calendar view and returns results that do not contain results from the Shared Calendar.
I have Editor permissions to the calendar.
Ideas?
Jason Meyer

Hi Jason,
Please check the following settings in Outlook:
1. Click File > Options > Search.
2. In the Results part, check Current folder.
3. Click OK to save the settings.
Then we can search the shared calendar by the following steps:
1. Navigate to Calendar pane, check the specific shared calendar listed under Shared Calendars.
2. Uncheck all calendars listed under My Calendars.
3. In the right top corner of the calendar month view, there is a box which we can type the Keywords to Search Shared -Calendar. Alternatively, we can press Ctrl +E to search it.
Then check whether the issue persists.

  • KB2687455 (SP2 for Office 2010) Breaks Outlook Searches of Shared Contacts/Calendars

    Hello, everyone! I would love to know if anyone else is experiencing these issues. 
    I am an IT Network Technician for several clients that have had issues searching in shared contacts and/or calendars in Outlook 2010. These users are using Office 2010 in Citrix/Remote Desktop Services environments. When these servers automatically
    download and install KB2687455, the users can no longer perform searches in shared contacts/calendars. They receive an error stating, "The requested Upon removing this update, and having the user close and re-open Outlook, the search functionality is
    restored. Surprisingly, a reboot is not required to restore searching. 
    Is Microsoft aware of this issue? If so, what is being done to correct it? If not, is anyone else experiencing similar symptoms?
    Our firm has already observed similar failure of the search functionality in Outlook 2010 due to the installation of another Windows Update, KB2956128. The issues with that update are already well-documented, based on a preliminary Google search,
    and we have blocked the installation of that update, where possible, until we are informed of a fix for it from Microsoft. Any information on the repair of that update would also be much appreciated. 

    Hi,
    Both KB2956128 and KB2956203 seem to cause this issue to some of our users, as you mentioned KB2956128, have you checked KB2956203? If you have installed this KB, uninstall it to check the result.
    If it is KB2956203, we have been aware of some issues caused by the recent updates, and would like to collect more information for further investigation.

  • Permissions problem: Public folders/Shared Calendars across domains with Linked accounts

    I have a linked mailbox that is accessed by an account in a trusted domain.  The account can access e-mail, send e-mail, free-busy search, etc, just fine.  However, there seems to be a permissions issue with the public folders and shared calendars. 
    When trying to access the public folders for which permissions have been assigned to the linked account from the trusted domain account, I get an error, or just can't see the folders.  The only way I can view public folders is by setting default permissions
    on the folder to 'Read'. 
    I've found some other threads that reference this problem, and a blog that no longer exists as the solution:

  • Outlook cached mode, shared calendars, permissions and sync errors

    We have the following environment -
    Exchange 2010 SP2, no public folder DB; Outlook 2010 sp1 cached mode.
    under very specific circumstances, but unfortunately a common circumstance, we're getting sync errors -

    15:59:56 Done
    This occurs if Naomi shares her Calendar with me, without granting me read "Full Details", if she changes the permissions and allows me to read Full Details, the sync error goes away.
    It's repeatable, i have tested it with a few users sharing calendars with each other, and changing permissions.
    The peculiar thing is that Naomi is in My Team, so her calendar is listed under Team Calendar,  I get no sync errors, it's only when I add Naomi's Calendar as a Shared Calendar and don't have read Full Access permission that the sync errors appear.
    User's don't necessarily want to give Full Access to their Calendars, so that's not really a viable work around for us, this smells very much like a bug with outlook, is anyone else seeing this?

  • Shared Calendar Requirement

    Hi Guys,
    We can have a shared calendar created using Exchange 2013 Public Folders or Using SharePoint.
    Can some body suggest me which one is the best ?
    Also, let me know if you have any web link which gives pros and cons of both the ways.
    This is a question from one of our users and we need to justify him why the one we give him is the best choice.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Stan,
    As I understand, you are using SharePoint 2013 on premise integrating with Exchange Online or Office 365, and you would like to sync Exchange calendar to SharePoint calendar.
    So far I could search, it is not supported, currently it’s not available to sync a calendar from Exchange Online to SharePoint Online or sync a calendar from SharePoint Online to mobile devices. Since the Exchange Online has limited open web services,
    we cannot ensure that we can configure a trust between the on premise SharePoint servers and Exchange Online.

  • Incluiding specific shared calendars in Busy Search results

    I have a staff member who would like to have some specific shared calendar(s) included in busy search results for him. He uses two calendars to keep track of his own schedule. Is there a way for GroupWise 2012SP2 to accommodate this?
    I can understand that it would be a bad idea to have busy search automatically included in busy search results. Obviously, there will be shared calendars that don't correspond to your schedule but I also see his point in wanting more than one calendar for his schedule.
    If it is not possible in the current version or 2014 does anyone know if it is on the roadmap? I didn't see it on the general one.
    Thanks.
    -Nyle

    I have put this in as an enhancement request. We understand that if you check the sub-calendar it will show in your main calendar and then be part of the busy search results for that mailbox. The user wants to be able to always have specific folders used in their busy search results even if they decide to uncheck that calendar from showing in their main calendar.
    I don't think I explained that well enough. The enhancement request that I put in was to put a checkbox property on each sub-calendar to allow it to be included in busy search results even if the user doesn't have it showing in their main calendar when someone does a busy search on their mailbox.

  • How to sync MS Exchange shared calendars and allow permissions?

    Hi Everyone,
    We have a SBS2008 and MS Exchange with which we have a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy to work. We are having some issues in syncing shared calendars for conference room bookings as well as some other issues. We have an iPhone 5s and everyone has updated to iOS 8.
    How do we allow one of our managers to access a shared calendar on their iPhone to book a room from a shared calendar and ensure that that is reflected across the calendar?
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    Are the Rooms you wish to book stored as Resources in Microsoft Exchange?
    I have an app in the store called Roomr which connects to Exchange and allows you to view and book meeting rooms. This would enable your managers to book meeting rooms in advance and the data is stored in Exchange so it will sync with all users.
    I know you want to use the Calendar app provided, but Roomr has the added benefit of providing you with an at-a-glance availability of meeting rooms, enabling you to see which ones are free instantly, without having to check multiple schedules.
    It's free to try out and might help solve your problem https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/roomr-check-meeting-room-availability/id72284240 4?ls=1&mt=8

  • Shared Calendar and Permissions

    Hello,
    I have a shared calendar that we use in my organization and only 1 person has publishing editor rights while the rest of the company has reviewer rights. The problem is that if a reviewer opens a time block, instead of restricting the ability to post to
    the calendar, it lets them send a meeting invite. Any idea on how I can set it to completely block the reviewers from being able to send the request?
    Also, we are using o365 with my Outlook 2010 set up.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    I can confirm if a user has been granted with the Reviewer permission in Outlook 2010, when he double clicks on a time block, a meeting invitation is created.
    While with the same permission in Outlook 2013, the user will get a message that says "You don't have permission to create an entry in this folder..."
    As far as I can tell, it should be by design in Outlook 2010 and we can't change this so far. Anyway we don't have to worry about this too much, the user only creates an invitation window and only when the calendar owner accepts it will an item be created
    on the calendar.

  • Best practices for office 365 SHARED CALENDAR for whole school / organization

    hi
    we need guidance on best practice for setting up SHARED CALENDAR on Office365 exchange server for entire organization (school)of150 staff.
    Requirements
    + all staff should have read only / reviewer permissions on calendar
    +handful staff should have editor permissions on calendar
    + the calendar should synchronise custom categories and colors
    Current Solution
    at the moment we have found that a shared mailbox is the best solution because;
    - allusers can add the shared mailbox on outlook 2010as additional mailbox as readonly
    - all the categories & colors for the calendarare automatically synchronised because the color categories are stored within this mailbox.
    - you can edit calendar permissions in outlook to allow some users as "editor" of the calendar.Problem with Current Solution
    the problem however is that the users also need to access this...
    This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

    Hi Aleksei,
    I think Inactive mailboxes in Exchange Online is the feature that you want. This feature makes it possible for you to preserve (store and archive) the contents of deleted mailboxes indefinitely.
    A mailbox becomes inactive when an In-Place Hold or a
    Litigation Hold is placed on the mailbox before the corresponding Office 365 user account is deleted.
    But I'm afraid that it might be impossible to "easily share certain folders or even whole mailbox with people in the company". As can been seen from below articles, this only allows administrators, compliance officers, or records managers
    to use the In-Place eDiscovery feature in Exchange Online to access and search the contents of an inactive mailbox:

    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/03/21/preserve-mailbox-data-for-ediscovery-using-inactive-mailboxes-in-exchange-online.aspx
    Anyway, this is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Office client. For more details about your question, I would suggest you post in the dedicated forum of
    Exchange Online, where you can get more experienced responses:

  • ICal Server Shared Calendars "403" Error

    Greetings,
    We are currently running a 10.7.4 Server with 10.7.4 clients. The problem is with the calendar system's sharing funtion. Some users will consistantly receive an error message "403" Stating that the user does not have permission to edit the item when they edit an item or change an existing event to another user's shared calendar. After some troublshooting I found that if I made the claendar in question the default calendar in iCal, I was able to create vents without problem. I have tried removing the problemed users from that calendar's list of shared users, and changing permissions back and forth from Read to Read/Write without any success. There are no iCloud or MobileMe accounts on any of the client machines, a pertinent negative as searching for a resolution to this issue yeilds many similar problems related to those services.
    Summary:
    Creating or editing an event in a shared calendar within iCal (while not the host of sdaid calendar) results in a error code 403. However, when the user in question changes their default calendar to the shared calendar, there is no issue creating new events. The issue is only persistant with a few users. Other users have no issue manipulting existing records in the same shared calendar.
    Configuration:
    OS X Lion Server (10.7.4)
    iCal service is configured properly
    Clients are all running 10.7.4
    Screenshot of the error message:
    Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    I have got same problem.
    After importing the calendar user can't create new appointments.
    It isnt possible to add a new appointment.
    let me know if there is an solution?
    Thanks.

  • Can't subscribe to shared calendars via Outlook.

    We've been using the Sun Outlook connector for several years and just recently (three weeks ago) a lot of our users are reporting problems with subscribing to calendars and setting permissions within Outlook.
    Users can view and share calendars in Comm Express just fine. When I install the connector and create a new profile I get all the calendars that I am currently subscribed to but cannot add additional calendars.
    When I try to add a shared calendar that I have full permissions to I get one of the following errors:
    "Unable to display the folder. Your profile is not configured to support this operation for this user."
    or
    "The Search request to the Sun Global Address List server has timed out."
    Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Does this problem occur for all users?
    If not which users are not affected and what is different about their setup (version of connector/Outlook/different calendar server/physical location etc.)?
    When I try to add a shared calendar that I have full permissions to I get one of the following errors:
    "Unable to display the folder. Your profile is not configured to support this operation for this user."
    or
    "The Search request to the Sun Global Address List server has timed out."Let's go with the second option for the time being.
    When you perform the search, what do you see in the directory server access/error logs? Do you see any log-running searches (high etime value) or any errors (err=<some number not 0>).
    How long does it take for the error to come back.. instantly, seconds, minutes?

  • Access shared calendars on exchange 2007

    I'm trying to access shared Exchange calendars on my iphone and I cant see how to do this. Does anyone know how to do this?  If i require a 3rd party app to do this, can anyone recomend one please?
    I can see the shared calendars on outlook 2010 and I would expect to see them in the calendar list on my iphone. 
    Thanks

    Thanks, russcus, you've brought me one step closer to figuring out how to use Snow Leopard and Exchange 2007 together. As we're on the topic here, I need to take a moment to voice why Apple's implementation is very disappointing.
    Of your 3 suggestions, #1 should just be working out of the box. iCal should be able to see these calendars- Entourage can. As long as others in the organization have Calendar: Properties: Permissions: "default" set to "reviewer", they've granted read privileges to everyone else in the organization. Pulling up a view of another's calendar is as simple as "Open Other User's Folder", enter email address, verify, use. It's a rare and sad day when I wish Apple's software just worked as well as Microsoft's.
    While #2 and #3 will work (I verified only #3), it's far more effort on the calendar owner's part. Everyone who might need calendar privileges must be managed separately, vs the wholesale organization-wide granting Entourage can do. This is a unneeded overhead that causes complication whenever staff changes.
    Additionally, the scheduling assistant is less useful than in Entourage. In iCal, the availability of others is boiled down to only free or busy. In Entourage, a mouseover of an event in the Scheduling view provides event title and location data (as long as the event isn't flagged as private). My staff won't like loosing the ability to answer the question "exactly what is user X busy with at this time?" if we were to move to iCal.
    If I'm misunderstanding something, please let me know. I'd prefer to not be right on these observations, as they're going to be problems in leaving Entourage for the Apple native suite of apps.
    Regarding public folders- they are on Microsoft's list of discontinued features:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998911.aspx
    I'm just speculating, but I doubt Apple put development efforts into supporting a feature that's on the way out.

  • Outlook10 shared calendars, color coding does not work

    I've read several discussions, questions and answers here and tried a lot, but the problem does not seem to go away.
    I created a calendar with Outlook10, added some color categories for the appointments and shared the calendar with several people. Nobody sees the colors on their computers (it's all green), as if the color categories were personal and for my use only. I
    tried to "import color categories" in the data file properties and I set the categories' names as default after erranously changing them (Purple, Red etc etc.) when that didn't do any good, but NO, I'm still the only one seeing in color.
    Help?

    Hi,
    In order to see the configured Color Categories, the mailbox owner needs to assign you at least “Reviewer” permissions. This includes the “Full Details” read permission which is required for displaying Color Categories. Please make sure the Calendar permission
    is configured correctly.
    Additionally, I noticed that the shared calendar is a new created calendar in your mailbox instead of the main calendar. When an additional Calendar folder exists within the same mailbox and you only want to share this folder, setting the Reviewer
    permission on that Calendar folder will not reveal the Color Categories in that Calendar. Once the Reviewer permission has been set on the main Calendar folder, the Color Categories will be shown in both Calendar folders. For more information about it, please

  • How do i stop getting shared calendar invitations?

    How do i stop getting shared calendar invitations which require a deleting action.

    Going to answer my own question after searching the web a bit more...
    The setting is not in the Notification Center, where you'd expect...  it's in the Calendar app on OS X, and in the Mail, Contacts and Calendar settings in iOS 6 (don't know about 7 yet ).
    In OS X, open your Calendar and from the menu bar choose Calendar > Preferences and then highlight the Alerts tab.  Second from the bottom is a checkbox labelled "Turn off shared calendar messages in Notification Center"... it's unchecked, and you need to put a check mark (aka tick) in that box.  To be honest, I think this is poorly designed, because putting a check mark in a box to disable a setting is rather like a double negative, and probably why I've seen so many people think they have this set correctly when in fact the opposite is true.
    There's a similar setting on iPhones/iPads too, and again it's hidden away, but at least it's the right way round.  Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and scroll right to the bottom.  Where it says "Shared Calendar Alerts" change this setting to "OFF" (it's ON by default).
