EXO Powershell, Lots of users, lots of calendars

Question

I have a hybrid setup at the moment, and for one reason or another [above my knowledge and ability] users in mail enabled security groups cannot "book" spaces in calendars on exo, until i manually apply calendar permissions in exo powershell; adding mail enabled security groups for calendar permissions doesnt work.

So I was trying to script the adding of mass users to each of the calendars:

$Usernames = import-csv c:\path to script\Usernames.csv

foreach ($name in $Usernames) {
        Add-MailboxFolderPermission -identity NameOfCalendar@domain.com:\Calendar -user $name -AccessRights Editor
    }

However, when i run this, i get the error below:

Write-ErrorMessage : Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'User'. Cannot convert value "" to type "Microsoft.Exchange.Management.StoreTasks.MailboxFolderUserIdParameter". Error: "identity"
At C:\PATH TO USER\AppData\Local\Temp\tmpEXO_p3qndzjg.vmp\tmpEXO_p3qndzjg.vmp.psm1:1159 char:13
+             Write-ErrorMessage $ErrorObject

Thanks

Hi @Tom Dollow

Would you please also post the Usernames.csv file?

For example, if the format of this csv file looks like:

You may need to modify this row in the script.

From:

Add-MailboxFolderPermission -identity NameOfCalendar@domain.com:\Calendar -user $name -AccessRights Editor

To:

Add-MailboxFolderPermission -identity NameOfCalendar@domain.com:\Calendar -user $name.Email -AccessRights Editor
