Hello from the Office 365 Groups Engineering Team
Not sure if this group conversation is still active? There are suggestions in this group conversation to use Set-UnifiedGroup xxxx -CalendarMemberReadOnly however is appears that parameter does not currently work. I raised a support request and was advised it was not working as this time. Is this currently a known bug and being worked on or is the documentation wrong and the feature not implemented yet?
"CalendarMemberReadOnly" Functional description:
This functionality was built for education, where in a classroom students do not have the ability to move events or appointments that a teacher adds in the group. Any member can still create a meeting event and send to the group, however they cannot add an appointment in the group calendar or edit any existing meetings or appointments added by their teachers. Currently this feature works only in Outlook for Web (OWA) which is the prominent app that is used in education, especially by students.
To set this property, run this command -
Set-UnifiedGroup <group_smtpaddress> -CalendarMemberReadOnly:<$true/$false>
To view whether this property is properly set, use this command -
Get-UnifiedGroup <group_smtpaddress> -IncludeAllProperties | fl *calendar*
Please let us know the use cases you would like to have this functionality for, and the clients you would like to have it, so it will help us prioritize future developments on this better.
The case for me that is most important is Education, I imagine I will have some companies with this need as well. Scenarios is Sales and Project teams where members should not ne anle to delete meetings only the manager and an assistant.
