Giving Permissions To Share Calendar For Outlook Mac

The account belongs to the owner of the company so that is something I don't want to really try. The problem gets even worst because the user trying to open the calendar works in a different office and he is also a director level employee, so it takes a while to get him on the phone and with a remote connection to do tests.

Calendar User Guide

Share your calendar account with people who use the same CalDAV or Exchange calendar service (for example, with fellow employees at your company). You can choose whether others can edit the calendar account or only view it.

Give another person access to your calendar account

1. In the Calendar app on your Mac, choose Calendar > Preferences, then click Accounts.

2. Select the calendar account.

3. Click Delegation, click Edit, then click the Add button .

4. Enter the name of the person you want to give access to, then choose his or her name from the list that appears.

   • If you’re giving access to a CalDAV account, select the Allow Write checkbox to let the person edit your calendars.

   • If you’re giving access to an Exchange account, select the person’s level of access from the Calendars column.

See calendar accounts you have access to

1. In the Calendar app on your Mac, choose Calendar > Preferences, then click Accounts.

2. Select the calendar account, then click Delegation.

   • A CalDAV account appears in the “Accounts I can access” list.

   • For an Exchange account, click Add button , then enter the user name of the person who gave you access.

3. To see a delegated account’s calendars in the main Calendar window, select Show.

4. To see a delegated account’s calendars in a new window, choose Window > [account name].

Make events private

If you have a shared calendar account, you can make private events that can’t be viewed by others.

1. In the Calendar app on your Mac, double-click or force click an event, then click the event’s date.

2. Select the Private checkbox.

   If there is no Private checkbox, the event either has invitees or isn’t administered through a CalDAV or Exchange server.

Instead of sharing your entire account, you can share individual calendars.

If you have a Microsoft Exchange account, you can share and delegate Outlook e-mail messages, events, contacts, tasks, and notes with people who are on the same Exchange server.

Sharing is most often used by peers who are working on the same project. The shared folder appears under a separate account in the other user's navigation pane. Depending on the sharing permissions, the person may be able to read, create, edit, or delete items in the shared folder.

Delegation involves granting permission to another person, known as a delegate, to receive and respond to e-mail messages and meeting requests on your behalf. You can also grant additional permissions that allow your delegate to read, create, or edit items in your Exchange account.

Note: When you delegate or share an address book, calendar, or mail folder, delegates or users who share those folders could view your private contacts, events, or e-mail messages by using other software applications. To help protect your privacy, put private items in a separate, non-shared address book, calendar, or mail folder.

Options for sharing a folder

When you share a folder, you can set permissions that define what each user who accesses the folder can do:

Options for delegating a folder

When you add a delegate, you can give the delegate separate permission levels for your calendar, inbox, address book, tasks, and notes folders:
