User can't send calendar invites
- Yes, we'll talk about this at Ignite. :-)
For "old model" shared calendars, only a calendar delegate can manage meetings where forwarding is blocked. Editors will receive that above error.
For "new model" shared calendars, both calendar editors & delegates can manage the meeting.
David: to upgrade your users, they need to be explicitly shared the calendar (e.g. calendar owner granted them individual permission). Once that's done, they can remove the shared calendar, and then using OWA, re-open the calendar (Add calendar -> From directory). You can confirm they're upgraded because they'll also see the shared calendar now on mobile phones!
That option actually makes sense, and in general this scenario should be something that Julia Foran
and the relevant team should have looked into when designing the new forwarding feature. Let's wait for her to confirm whether this is a bug or the expected behavior now.

Thanks a lot for your clear response. Help me a lot with a customer.
They had exactly the error above and watching the video (Ignite) and following your instruction solved the problem.

We also are getting this behavior. I also re-added user editor permission and tried and it didn't solve the issue. It would have been nice to create better fail messages. As these errors don't seem to match up with the error that occurred.
Julia, when you say old model and new model, what are you referring to exactly?
I have an executive who has a delegate. The executive does not want his meetings forwarded and his delegate sets up all of his meetings. In this scenario, will unchecking the "Allow Forwarding" feature to work? If not, are there any other options?
- Julia ForanHi John,
If he just wants the user to be able to create & update meetings, but not receive the meeting invitations in their inbox, I would grant "Can edit" permissions rather than "Delegate" permissions. The only difference between an editor & a delegate is that meeting invites are copied to the delegate, so it sounds like changing the permissions to "Can edit" (aka editor) would be what you want.
--JuliaJulia ForanCan you send me the link to the video of this Ignite presentation?
So have new delegates that the allow forward is not turned on when they create a meeting. Once its on, its on it seems. Is this an expected feature for everyone (off by default).What if they really don't want the meeting to have allow forwarding turned on? I tested on a different calendar and it fails. This isn't good.
