Best route to creating a permission-limited shared calendar in Outlook and Teams? Tearing hair out!
RBagley Hello, I could at least find one question in there 😉 Yes, you can add a shared mailbox to a Team. Just open up the shared calendar on the web, copy the address, go back to Teams and select channel/add channel and then add a tab (+ sign). Pick Website, give it a name paste the link in the URL field. Now you see the shared mailbox within Teams.
I feel though that this one should be what you're looking for.
The CalendarMemberReadOnly switch specifies whether to set read-only Calendar permissions to the Microsoft 365 Group for members of the group.

ChristianBergstrom, thanks for taking the time to reply 🙂 My 'question' was a bit rambling!!
I have indeed seen that solution, which would have been nice and easy, but with a shared mailbox (as opposed to a group or user calendar) calendar there is no URL to paste that I can see. It does not appear possible to share a shared mailbox calendar and identify the URL in the normal way (although 'guest' users can add it to their calendars by searching the directory).
I have started to investigate the possibility of using MS Flow aka Power Automate to copy any event added in Outlook to the Shared Mailbox calendar to a Sharepoint copy which would be a read only display calendar. I am not sure how well this will work if events are amended or deleted from the Outlook calendar. But I can't locate another solution at the moment.
Worst case it will just have to live in Outlook and we miss an opportunity to encourage our users to make Teams their one-stop shop for everything.
