O365 Groups Calendar Viewable to Non-members
Hi, Is it possible to have an O365 Groups calendar made viewable to non-members?
Technically speaking, they are visible to anyone in the company (assuming a Public group). You can confirm this via the Get-MailboxFolderPermission cmdlet:
Get-MailboxFolderPermission group:\Calendar -GroupMailbox
FolderName User AccessRights
---------- ---- ------------
Calendar Default {AvailabilityOnly}
Calendar Anonymous {None}
Calendar Member@local {Editor}
Calendar Owner@local {Editor}
The Calendar however will not automatically show up under the Calendar pane -> All Group calendars node, unlike Calendars for Groups you've joined, and you need to add it manually.
- When I add the Group Calendar to Sharepoint Online as a web part, non-members receive a message stating they must be a member of the group to view the calendar.
How do I change it so when it's added as a web part in Sharepoint Online, non-members can view the details?Ahem, you never mentioned SharePoint in your original post. My reply was based on the assumption access will happen via the Outlook client or OWA. I'm not entirely sure how it will work in a webpart.
- 365 Group calendars are 100% controlled in Outlook Client and OWA. The webpart just shows it. Then when you try to sync it as a nonmember the owners of the group are asked to add you as a member of the 365 group...complete nonstarter, as we don't want to grant edit rights to everything across all applications in the suit with that 365 group...we just need departments to be able to overly the calendar (read only). We can't alter the members group for the 365 group because they are data editors. We can't make everyone an owner. who was an editor...for obvious reasons.
