O365 Groups Calendar Viewable to Non-members
Hi, Is it possible to have an O365 Groups calendar made viewable to non-members?
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.
Did anyone find the right Calendar object that can be shared as read-only on SharePoint as a web part, but be editable by a defined set of users?
- Yes, SharePoint allows for the creation of a list that functions as a calendar, which can be shared as a read-only object on a SharePoint site via a web part, but still be editable by a specific set of users. This is achieved by setting appropriate permissions on the SharePoint list. You can designate a list to have unique permissions, granting edit rights to certain users or groups while limiting others to read-only access. This setup enables the calendar to be viewed by everyone who accesses the SharePoint site but ensures that only authorized individuals can make changes to it. To implement this, you would adjust the list's permission settings directly in the SharePoint list settings under "Permissions for this list".
