Users cannot view events created by a different user in public calendar.

Question

We created a public mailbox calendar in our EOL instance. All appropriate users have access to it but can only see the events that they create. Is there something I missed? Thank you..

Hi @Curt Eberfeld

Thanks for the information.

While based on my test, I was not able to reproduce this issue.

Below are the steps of my test.

1.create a public folder calendar following Create a Public Folder calendar in Exchange Online

2.check the current permission on the calendar folder

kael: Owner

user01: PublishEditor

Default: Author

3.create a meeting as kael in Outlook and create a meeting as user01 in OWA on the public calendar

4.check the public calendar as different users kael:

user01:

user02 (another user which has no specific permission in the tenant):

Answer 2

Thank you for your response.

1. Here are the access rights to the calendar

2. Meetings are typically created in the users Outlook desktop client.

An example would be:

1. A meeting created by Kayleah Stephan cannot be seen by Kristin Stephan or myself. When she creates a meeting and adds me as an attendee, I can only see it in my local Outlook and not the public calendar

This meeting was created in the public calendar and I was invited to it

And this is what I see in the public calendar.

Thank you..
