Shared Calendar Office 365

I created a new mailbox user shared@. Then I shared the calendar to all the users in the company. When a user sends a meeting invitation, I only want that user to get a confirmation. Currently, everyone without delegation rights are unable
to get the invite response. Also, everyone with the delegation rights are receiving ALL responses, even to the events they did not send. How do I share a calendar and when that user sends a meeting invitation only that user gets a response?
*I know I can do a public folder, but I saw that public calendar is only available in Outlook. Users need it to work on mobile devices.

hi, when you set multiple delegates, the response will sent to all delegates regardless of who send the meeting request.
To work around this, try to send the meeting request from the user's account and invite the shared mailbox as attendee.

  • IPhone Calendars Office 365

    Hi there,
    Does anyone know about iPhone calendars and linking them with Office 365 ProPlus?
    My Managing Director's Wife had been told to delete her MS Office programme and replaced it with this 365 programme from her new employer.
    The problem is that she can’t now sync her calendars. She’s got 4 different calendars to use – 3 work and her personal one and now her iPhone only shows one of the work ones, she’s lost all her personal diary even though it’s still on her computer (or it shows in Office 365 at least so not sure if it’s actually on her laptop).
    They’ve tried everything they can think of but nothing seems to work and the guy at her Office doesn't seem to know what he is doing, not to say I know anything about Office 365.
    He seems to think that they need to set up the settings on her iPhone so that the phone links to the Exchange server whereas the guy at her office is trying to suggest that she can sync everything by plugging in her iPhone.
    Do you know exactly what info she needs from her employer in order to set up her iPhone? Once she’s got it would you know what to do?
    Your help would be much appreciated.
    Kind regards,
    RocknRollTim

    Hi there,

  • Disable site sharing in Office 365 using CSOM

    I have a requirement to disable sharing of sites and documents in Office 365 site collection using CSOM.
    Manually from UI, I can disable sharing by unchecking Access Request Settings under Site Settings.
    But could not find a way to do it using CSOM.

    Hi,
    If it is an on premises environment, there is a property “RequestAccessEnabled” in SPWeb class in SharePoint Object Model can be used to change the
    setting:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.spweb.requestaccessenabled.aspx
    However, in an online environment, the SharePoint Object Model is not an option, what’s more, in Client Object Model which is designed for client side use, there is
    no such a property in Web class available:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.client.web_members.aspx
    It means that it is not able to change the “Access Request Settings” with the client side technology such as JavaScript.
    Thus, I would suggest you submit a feedback to the Office Developer Platform if there any expectation about the future version of Office 365:
    http://officespdev.uservoice.com/
    It
    is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products. What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft
    Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.

  • Calendar bug with Office 365 for Education (exchange accounts)

    I have an Office 365 Exchange account provided by my University. When I add the account to my Mac, Mail.app and Contacts.app work perfectly. However I receive an error message in Calendar which states that “Calendar needs a valid email address to connect” to my account. The address is clearly valid since it is working in Mail and Contacts. Furthermore, this account works perfectly in iOS Mail, Contacts, and Calendar. The issue is only with Calendar in OS X. Upon researching online, it appears that this issue will occur on Macs if the account is hidden on the Exchange Global Address List (which is true for my account). Below are a few additional points that are related to this bug:
    1. iOS connects to Exchange through ActiveSync which is why I don't see the issue on iOS devices.
    2. OS X connects to Exchange through Exchange Web Services (EWS). OS X supports EWS for Calendar syncing only when a users name is listed on the Global Address List. If the account is hidden (and they usually are for Office 365 educational accounts at Universities complying with FERPA laws) then Calendar.app cannot connect and sync the users calendar. I am not sure if this is by-design or a bug.
    3. The third-party Mac app 'BusyCal 2' also uses EWS to connect to Exchange and it will work regardless of the visibility of the user's account on the GAL.
    This has led me to two conclusions: Either  (1) Apple has a bug in Calendar.app, or (2) the bug is in EWS and Busycal 2 is forcing some sort of work-around. It's likely that Apple and Microsoft will need to work together to fix the issue. I've attempted submitting a bug report to Apple but I have no way to contact Microsoft since I am not an admin for the Office 365 plan that my school uses. I would need to go through my admins but they don't seem to care much about this issue. So pretty much I'm left helpless at this point :/
    Does my analysis seem valid or does anyone else have any points to contribute? I would appreciate the assistance

    Hi,
    There are two ways to share read access to your calendar on premise to Office 365. The method you choose depends on your requirements and the level of access that you want to give to the calendars. But providing write access to the calendar is not possible
    in a Cross-Premise scenario.
    For more information, here is a blog for your reference.

  • Shared Office 365 calendars not showing up in iCal

    We are using Microsoft's Office 365 and have users with a variety of devices and applications (Mac/iCal/Mail, Windows/Outlook, iPhone, Android, etc.).
    I am the administrator of the Exchange accounts. I have created four calendars that are viewable by everyone within our organization (just general "company-wide calendars").
    Users with Outlook are able to view those shared calendars just fine. However, I'm not able to add the shared calendars with users using iCal.
    If I add them as a delegate, they can see all my calendars, but if I just share the calendar, they get a "no access" error.
    Here's where I'm setting the shared calendar permissions. I've tried setting them as Reviewer, setting the Default as Reviewer, and setting them as Owner.
    Because it works fine in Outlook, I'm wondering if it's an iCal problem. For cross-referencing purposes, here's my issue at Office 365's community: Shared calendars not showing up in Apple iCal

    Hi All, after much trial and tribulation, this works for me on BusyCal. It is an app you can get on the apple store.
    Calendar should be created then shared with the busycal user. The link does not work, but add exchange account as you would on  Mac Calendar under preference>accounts. The go to the sharing tab and  click plus and type in email of person who shared calendar. It will auto populate. For some reason it does not work under delegation in Mac Calendar
    The  key and where I spent 4 days on the phone with apple and office 365, is  that the owner of the calendar has to share their calendar, named  :"calendar" They can just click the permission "show availability only."  Once they do that, any other calendars they have created and added you  as full permissions or details, you can see. I see nothing on their  calendar called "calendar"  Not the perfect solution, but it works. BusyCal is $30
    If this does not make sense feel free  to message me or I will respond here.

  • 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://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn144876(v=exchg.150).aspx
    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:

  • How to open shared calendar in Outlook for Mac 15 (Office 365)?

    A colleague in my organisation has created a calendar in a different version of Outlook and shared it with me, but I am unable to access it. What am I missing?
    I have tried:
    Select Calendar
    Click Open shared calendar
    Search for the person's name. They appear in the list.
    Select and click open. I get a popup saying "Outlook was redirected to the server secure.autodiscover.... to get new settings for your account (email address of person I selected). ..."
    Tick "Always use my response for this server" and click "Allow". The same popup appears. 
    Again I tick "Always use my response for this server" and click "Allow". I get a popup saying "Outlook cannot open the folder. You do not have permission to open this folder. Contact (sharer's name) for permission."
    Also, this colleague has triggered a share invitation email.
    This contains an XML file that I cannot open with Outlook.

    Hi,
    According to your description, I notice that Outlook for Mac for Office 365 cannot open shared calendar.
    If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
    Which account are you used, Exchange account or Microsoft account?
    Would you please login OWA and test to open this shared calendar?
    Outlook for Mac cannot open the shared calendar which is a sub-calendar, you have to ask calendar owner share all calendars under the default "Calendar" folder.

  • Office 365 calendars not showing

    I'm running Version 8.0 (2032.6.1) of iCal on Yosemite. My main calendar is hosted on Office 365.
    There was a problem with duplicated entries in the calendar, which actually meant that iCal would crash on startup. I fixed that by deleting the duplicates with temporary access to the Windows version of Outlook. As part of trying to get iCal to work again, after the repair of the calendar, I removed the various caches and .plist files, as recommended on various sites. Now, I'm in a slightly strange state in that the Exchange (Office 365) account isn't listed in the iCal list of accounts, and entries for that calendar are not showing, it is still in some way connected, because the application icon shows the number of outstanding entries.
    What is the best way of restoring visibility of the Office 365 calendar in iCal?
    I've tried deleting and re-adding this account, but it hasn't helped.

  • I use a PC for work and link it to Office 365. I also have an iphone and ipad. How do I synchronise these devices to Outlook without creating multiple copies of calendars?

    I use my PC for work (MS Office and Outlook). I also use Office 365. I also have an iPhone and iPad. I'm having difficulty getting Outlook to synchronise with Apple devices. I keep getting multiple copies of calendars and not being able to see contacts. Is there a process anywhere which describes the best way to manage these devices together? Or should I just give up on the PC and buy a MacBook or Air.

    Excellent. These guides got me as far as installing my preferred language pack, which gets added to the add-ons automatically (assuming the user says yes to the appearing question when Firefox is started).
    However, the GUI does not change unless the user enters "about:config" and changes the locale.
    Is there a way to do this from the command line? I mean, changing the locale settings.
    And preferrably for all users. So even when new users get added and they start Firefox the first time, they see it appearing with the preferred locale and not in English.

  • Opening a shared mailbox in Outlook 2013 (office 365) returns "Cannot Expand Folder" error.

    Hi!
    We've just upgraded from our old Domino email server to Office 365 E1 and running an on-premise Exchange 2013 hybrid server.
    In Outlook 2013, when trying to expand a shared mailbox, It asks me to enter my outlook credentials. Trying so doesn't work and it continues to ask repeatedly. If I click cancel, I get the following error:
    "Cannot expand the folder. The set of folders cannot be opened. Microsoft Exchange is not available.
    Either there are network problems or the Exchange server is down for maintenance."
    The error only occurs in Outlook 2013 and it happens to all staff who are using Outlook 2013. Shared mailboxes are accessible in Outlook 2010 and OWA with no issues.
    I have tried recreating profiles, removing and re-adding permissions, disabling auto-mapping. I've tested with creating shared mailbox in Exchange Online and on our hybrid server.

  • Office 365 Pro Plus Shared Activation not working or staying activated

    Hello,
    Environment is one Remote Desktop Server Session Host on 2012 r2 fully updated with a fully updated standard 2012 r2 domain controller. I have four users on Office 365 E3 Plan.
    The problem I am having - the activation is not persisting across the user either logging off or opening different Office applications. When I open the Office application I get this error - http://i.imgur.com/3fLdmr7.png . If I click OK, it prompts
    me to Activate and then sign in, which I do. This then lets me use Word/Excel etc. If I then close Word, and re-open it I go straight back to the error message.
    I followed the instructions here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn782858(v=office.15).aspx and subseqently here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/43419d08-4517-45e8-8cb6-ccec1b8b85bf(v=office.15)#BKMK_ConfigureCmd to install.
    As per the guidance here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn782859(v=office.15).aspx when I go to File > Account I can see that it looks like infographic A so that is correct. The SharedComputerLicensing value is in the registry and set
    to 1. In my %localappdata%\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Licensing I have four files {GUID}.authString, {GUID}.authString.txt.previous, {GUID}.signingCert, {GUID}.signingCert.txt.previous
    I have a tried a full removal and re-install of Office and this made no difference.

    Hello. I actually raised a support request to Microsoft about this. It seems from my testing that when using user profile disks in 2012 r2 that shared activation doesn't work. Last update this was with engineering team at MS. Will update when they have
    confirmed this is an actual bug.

  • Setting the shared templates location by Deploying Office 365 Midsized Business "using a network share" from a on-premise location

    I found the question "Deploy Office 365 pro plus using a network share or from a on-premise locaiton" the most useful of the resources
    on MS yet - but I am having difficulties getting the files to download for a local deployment.
    The root of the issue, that I cannot find anywhere, is how do I set the shared templates location for users in the organization.  First I thought a GPO, but I cannot find that setting in the GPO in MS.
    Then I thought modifying the REG- but it is in a binary key which could include other information I may not want modified(Or does it matter?)
    Then I looked for ways to download the deployment but launching from an elevated prompt as IT (Domain level) returns a useless error to paraphrase- 'sorry MSOffice didn't install- do you have enough disk space'.
    I have downloaded the GPO objects, but not installed them, likely I will need those later though.
    Just want to path all the users to a central repository of office/excel/access/outlook templates in addition to their local templates. Concise help in steps or sites that have solved the issue are Greatly appreciated : )

    Hi,
    you can use the GPO ADMX templates to configure the "Workgroup templates path".
    This actually configures a registry setting named: "sharedtemplates".
    The registry value/type/data is:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\15.0\common\general
    Name: sharedtemplates
    Type: REG_EXPAND_SZ (Expandable String Value)
    Data: <UNC path to folder>
    From the GPO reference workbook/sheet, for Office:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/4976.selected-content-relating-to-group-policy-administrative-templates-adm-and-admx.aspx
    Filename: office15.admx 
    Scope: User 
    Path: Microsoft Office 2013\Shared paths 
    Policy Setting Name: Workgroup templates path 
    Supported on: At least Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7 
    Category: Shared paths 
    Explain Text: Specifies the location of workgroup templates. 
    Registry Key: HKCU\software\policies\microsoft\office\15.0\common\general!sharedtemplates
    Note: it is supported to populate this setting, with a UNC path, but not with a web path.
    e.g.: \\server01\shared\templates <this is valid>
    e.g.: http://server01/shared/templates <this is not valid>
    This constraint (for web URIs) can be difficult to work around. If you are using SharePoint, and think WebDAV might work, it doesn't seem to work for us :(
    Of course, if you have SharePoint, there are much better ways to handle document templates, but, our users are familiar with this File -> New -> from template type of method...
    It can also be set manually by a user:

  • Office 365 Shared External Contacts - how do I delegate Edit and Update permissions to users

    Hello
    Office 365 Shared External Contacts - how do I delegate Create/Update/Delete/Edit permissions to users who are not Admins? These Contacts are in the Global Address List. Not Outlook personal Contacts. O365 Small Business Premium

    Hi,
    To grant users delegate permissions, open Outlook, go to FILE -> Info -> Account Settings -> Delegate Access -> Add -> Search and add the user, click OK -> Edit the permission of the user. We can set different permissions in the dropbox
    of Contacts.
    There are four permisssions for Contacts:
    1. None
    2. Reviewer (can read items)
    3. Author (can read and create items)
    4. Editor (can read, create, and modify items)
    Select the permission that you want to grant the user.
    We can also modify the permission later in this section.
    I hope the information is helpful, if I misunderstood anything, feel free to correct me and provide more detailed description of the question.
