Question
How do I create a Shared Calendar and then assign permissions to the calendar in uConnect.
Overview
These steps are to be performed by your department's administrator.
Answer
Create the mailbox on-premise first
- Login to https://owa.ucdavis.edu/ecp/ with your administrative account. Note that connections to the on-prem ECP are restricted to campus IP addresses.
- Navigate to Recipients > Resources/Shared (depending on whether you want to create a resource or shared mailbox)
- Click the + sign and fill in the required fields. Also be sure to browse to your department OU and place the AD object in the appropriate container.
- Click save to create the mailbox (at this point you can locate the mailbox in the same ECP and manage delegation if necessary).
- Use uInform to migrate it to Office 365 (https://admin.uinform.ucdavis.edu/office365move)
- Wait for the move to finish
To assign permissions:
- Access the ECP panel - http://outlook.office365.com/ecp (After move has finished)
- Go to Recipients and then resources (or shared or resources, depending on where the object was created)
- Click to edit the resource you wish to publish the information
- Go to Mailbox Delegation
- Add your admin user the Full Access and Send on Behalf (full access may be enough) to this resource
- Save. Wait 5 to 10 minutes.
- Access your mailbox via Outlook Web App (assuming your mailbox is in Exchange Online)
- Click on your name, and select to open another user's mailbox.
- Type the name of the resource, and select Search. The name will appear. Select and open.
- It will now open the mailbox for the resource. Click on Calendar.
- Then right click calendar on the left and select permissions.
- Add the group or people you want to have permissions to the calendar.
