Calendar sharing with external organization

Question

Hello,

 

Because of some questions in our organization I'm looking in calendar sharing with other organizations. Currently we have setup a relationship with some other organizations, where limited information is shared (time only).

For a group of users we want to share more information, also the subject has to be visible. Is it possible to configure this for a group of users? Or do we have to do that with individual sharing?

 

Another question from this group is to enable sharing calendars, so the external users can manage the calendar. Is this also possible? As I read the documentation, it is only possible to share information. And not that it is possible that someone outside the organization can manage the calendar. Is that correct?

Answer 1

If you have set up org relationships, the level of details configured therein applies to the entire organization (or the user's you've scoped it to). While users can configure more restrictive settings, they cannot override the org relationship default. So in your scenario, you can either change the org level to the most permissive setting and instruct users to restrict it where needed, or use individual sharing/sharing policies.

External sharing is always read-only, if they need edit access, they will need an account in your organization.

Hi,@FarazI995

Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Based on your description, you can use the M365 Center to share calendars with outsiders, and you'll need to complete the following steps:

1.First you must turn on the shared calendar feature.

2.If you have Microsoft 365 or another email service based on Microsoft Exchange Online, use Outlook on the web to share your calendar with people inside or outside your organization. Depending on the permission you give them, they can view your calendar, edit it, or act as your delegate for meeting requests.
