Exchange Online (M365) - create an account that can ONLY see calendar free/busy
Our org is fully using M365 and my boss is looking for me to create an AAD member account that ONLY has access to see organizational users (AAD member) calendar Free/Busy and can do nothing else in M365 (No outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive, access to any apps, etc.). Is there a way to set up such an account? I "think" she might want to have a contractor use this account to see Free/Busy in order to manually notify others of when they can schedule a meeting for certain staff members.
Thank you!

- Well you can also restrict access to the clients, and for OWA there are settings to disable the various "modules" such as Tasks, Contacts, etc. (see OWA mailbox policies: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/clients-and-mobile-in-exchange-online/outlook-on-the-web/create-outlook-web-app-mailbox-policy)
Some of these should also apply to the new Outlook, but will not apply to mobile clients/classic Outlook.
- No, calendar access is tied to having a mailbox.
- BrianRMIBrass ContributorThank you, Vasil. That said, I could disable mail flow to the mailbox so it can't receive or send. Do you know if I can somehow do the same for the mailbox's contacts and tasks?
