In this article, we’ll go over the steps necessary to enable full delegate access to an Office 365 or Exchange room or resource calendar. SyncPenguin uses this permission to connect a room or resource calendar through a dedicated user or service account in order to two-way sync room calendars between or within tenants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Office 365 (via PowerShell)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Below we explain how to set up delegate permissions for cloud Office 365 using PowerShell. First, connect to Exchange Online PowerShell by running:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connect-ExchangeOnline<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Mailbox permissions<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
To set mailbox delegate permissions, you can run the command below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add-MailboxPermission -Identity \"room@organization.com\" -User \"user@organization.com\" -AccessRights FullAccess -InheritanceType All<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Folder permissions<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
To set folder (for example, Calendar) delegate permissions, run:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity \"room@organization.com:\\Calendar\" -User \"user@organization.com\" -AccessRights Editor<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Office 365 (via cloud Exchange admin center)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The permission can be set through the Exchange admin center<\/em> located here: https:\/\/admin.exchange.microsoft.com\/<\/a>. Note that only mailbox permissions can be set through the admin center user interface. <\/strong>To ensure you provide full access to folders as well, please use the PowerShell commands above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the left menu, click Recipients<\/em>, then Resources<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"
Resources section of the admin center<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
On the Resources<\/em> page, click on the room you want to enable delegate access to.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"
Select the room<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
Then, select the Delegation<\/em> tab and click Edit<\/em> near the Read and manage (Full Access)<\/em> section.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"
Room delegation settings<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
Then, click + Add members<\/em> to select a user or service account that will have full delegate access to the selected room or resource.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"
Add delegates<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
Exchange on-premises (via PowerShell)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In case of Exchange on-premises, permissions can also be set via PowerShell comands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mailbox permissions<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
To set mailbox delegate permissions, run:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add-MailboxPermission -Identity \"room@organization.com\" -User \"user@organization.com\" -AccessRights FullAccess -InheritanceType All<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Folder permissions<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
To set folder (for example, Calendar) delegate permissions, run:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity \"room@organization.com:\\Calendar\" -User \"user@organization.com\" -AccessRights Editor<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
