Change default calendar permission for all users

Question

Change default calendar permission for all users

Anonymous

Our default calendar permission for all users is free/busy. Is there any way to change this setting to subject, free/busy time, location? We would want to change it for all users and would like to avoid going to each users machine.

You can change it via PowerShell script, but you will have to adjust this for any new user as well. Here's an example:

$calendars = Get-Mailbox -RecipientTypeDetails UserMailbox | Get-MailboxFolderStatistics | ? {$_.FolderType -eq "Calendar"} | select @{n="Identity"; e={$_.Identity.Replace("",":")}}

$calendars | % {Set-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity $_.Identity -User Default -AccessRights LimitedDetails}

There are many articles out there that give you detailed instructions, look them up if you need more information.

No, not the full script. It's a one-time only action, as it will cycle all the existing mailboxes in the company. For new ones, you only need the last line:

Set-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity ******@domain.com -User Default -AccessRights LimitedDetails

Do you have to run the script every time a new user is added?

Nope. Those are folder-level permissions, the GUI does not expose any controls for such.

Thank you for the response. Is there any way to change this setting in the GUI?
