I am looking for a way to avoid users from changing the default and anonymous folder permissions from none to owner by themselves, is there a policy we can set in place to avoid users from making this on OWA so then it replicates to the outlook client, is not to remove the Default and Anonymous but to disable users ability to do this via desktop client or webmail when sharing permissions on folders

In reply to PHILIP M HARE.

I assume items meant to be private are indeed marked as “private” when created in your calendar?
If such private items are created on your mobile device, make sure the calendar App you are using is fully compatible with Exchange as many (built-in) calendars do not even feature the possibility to mark items as private!
Also, private means they are still visible to your delegate(s), which makes perfectly sense as your delegate is supposed to check for your free/busy time, however without showing any details.

In reply to Aswath. If a permission already exists for that user, change the 'Add' part of the cmdlet to 'Set' so that it becomes Set-MailboxFolderPermission. Otherwise the command returns an error stating that permissions already exist on that mailbox for that user.

Hi Paul, I have a shared mailbox used by approx 10 users. I want to restrict 4 users so they only access one folder in the shared mailbox but could still reply from/to. Can this be done via outlook?
Thanks

Is there a way to deny a user from modifying the permission on their mailbox or from modifying permissions on a shared mailbox they are owner of? We would rather this be done by the mail team to avoid too much commissioning being done by a user. We see lots of time were the default ends up being given full access.

I’ve delegated access to my calendar to my assistant but did NOT check the box to allow her to see private items. And yet she can see private items. Any idea how to prevent this since apparently not checking the box that is supposed to control that access doesn’t work?

Hey Paul,

I am trying to create a script that will set everyone in my organization to a reviewer for their calendar permissions so that everyone can read everyone mailbox. The issue im running into is that my script is to broad I need to narrow it down and cut out the shared mailboxes, offboarded users, and service accounts. But am unable to figure out how I can exclude these groups this is the script im currently using any help would be greatly appreciated.

$credential = Get-Credential

$Session = New-PSSession -ConnectionUri “https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/” -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -Credential $credential -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
Import-PSSession $Session

$AllMailboxs = Get-Mailbox -Resultsize Unlimited -RecipientTypeDetails UserMailbox

Foreach ($user in $AllMailboxs)

{Set-mailboxfolderpermission –identity ($user.alias+’:\calendar’) –user Default –Accessrights Reviewer}

Remove-PSSession $Session
