How to transfer ownership of an Outlook Calendar (not delegate or share)

Question

How do I transfer [full] ownership of one of my created Outlook Calendars to another staff member within the same organisation?

In this instance, I need to transfer (not delegate or share) a calendar I created, currently listed under ‘My Calendars’ within MS Outlook.

This calendar was created to be used as a centralised, unit/group calendar, and was shared to those within my immediate team.

I need to transfer the whole calendar in the event that I may be transferred to another unit (within the same organisation) or completely leave altogether, and still have all data transferred, as this calendar has current, past and future schedules that aren’t backed up anywhere else.

I would appreciate your advice on how to resolve this, and would prefer to not have to export/import the calendar (if that's possible to avoid).

Thanks in advance!

There is no such functionality, ownership is always tied to the mailbox in which the Calendar resides, in this case, your own. Sharing it will still leave you as owner, so if you want to cede any control over it, the only option would be to export/import or otherwise copy the items to a new calendar.
