Creating a Department shared Calendar in Office 365?
Hello, I'm fairly new to Office 365. I have been asked my a department head to create a shared calendar that the whole department can use (view, edit, etc...). It seems like there are a couple ...
I was kind of leaning toward "Groups". What would be the difference between a Shared Mailbox vs Groups?
If I made a shared mailbox essentially I would be creating a user in Office 365 with a general name like "Purchasing" and then share that user's calendar out to all the users I want? Can you get granular with the permissions with a shared mailbox?
Sorry if I'm getting detailed here.

Yes. You really can’t get granular with Office groups thou. Everyone gets edit for the most part in a group. I’ll get some articles when I get in a computer been out and about and getting late but seems shared calendar is best approach just don’t remember pros and cons of sharing a calendar from a mailbox and or if you just give access if it’ll auto add. I remember we had to use the mailbox add method so that calendar colors would show up for people and there was a way to have it only read for some and I want to say it auto added but can’t remember it’s been too long.
