External calendar management

Question

We are looking for a solution to enable admin support from an outside entity to fully manage O365 users calendars without provisioning accounts for them on our O365 tenant. Is anyone aware of a viable solution for this? The outside entity can have as much as 15 people that will be providing these services. Maybe a 3rd party solution with a sync agent? I am aware of booking solutions but that will not work for this use case. The admins need full read write access to the calendars.

Thanks

If a person needs to do it, they need to have a mailbox within the organization/be licensed for it. You can use a programmatic solution though, something that uses the the Graph API or EWS...

Hi&nbsp;VasilMichev,could you please let me know if it's possible to create a "programmatic solution" that does not use Microsoft 365 account?&nbsp;&nbsp;

Victor_Ivanidze&nbsp;I agree. Do not want to have to manage 15 accounts for admin purposes of peoples calendars.

Granted you are the programmer here, not me, so you probably know best whether this is applicable for the above scenario.
