Outlook 2016 and Exchange 2016 on Premise Assigning rights in public calendars.

Question

For Outlook 2016 running on Exchange 2016 on premise, we are looking for a solution for assigning rights to public calendars so that individual securitygroups can only delete the entries of the corresponding group.

No matter which instructions we follow, it always ends up that  members of the security group can either change all entries, or only their own, but not those of other group members.
Is there an authorization between editor and author so that the group member can only delete the entries of members of one security group, but not the entries of other individually authorized users?

Answer 1

Hello,

 

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

In the Exchange 2016 on promise environment running in Outlook 2016, you want to assign permissions to public calendars so that individual security groups can only delete entries for the corresponding group.

In the Exchange environment, permission control is usually based on roles rather than specific security groups. According to your description, the permission control you want to achieve requires more fine-grained control, which limits deletion permissions based on the members of the security group.

In Exchange 2016 on promise, it may not be possible to directly implement permission control for security group members to only delete entries of the same security group member. Usually, permission control is managed based on roles (such as editors, authors, viewers, etc.), rather than members of security groups.

 

Best regards，
