asked on

Share calendar with user rights and displaying elements accordingly

Hi all,
This might have been asked already but didn't found so far.
Here is what I would like to do :

I share calendars using outlook 2003 and 2007 (connected to an Exchange 2003).
One of the sections in my organisation need to be able to see all the appointements in the calendar of a specific person but the rest of the company should see those as marked as private for example.
I tried using the "private" button but then the person who have owner rights still cannot see or access those elements.

Is that possible? (I hope I have been clear enough).

thx

does everyone need to see the free busy info for this person? if the rest of the organization doesn't need to see the calendar at all then just give the people who need to see it permissions.

if the rest of the organization does need to see this person's free busy info but not details, the the only suggestion i can offer for them to create a group schedule and add just that user.  here is a link to an article that explains it:

Hi,
So there are no solutions so far?
Thank you for the help anyway ! I will leave open a bit to see if anyone else could find a workaround.
if all they needed to see was the users free busy schedule, they could create a new meeting request or new appointment and click the scheduling tab and add that user and then they could see his availability
i came across this software.  it looks like it might do what you are looking to do (share calendar showing schedule only and not detail on appointments)

Hi,
You cannot make a meeting request for a person just so it knows you have an appointement, that will mess up the calendar (of the person you sent the request to).
Will look at the soft but I think there are no real solution as Simon said.

Hi,
I understand and appreciate your help. The only problem is that I need a quick and easy way as the population in my company is far away from being computer litterate :-)

Hi,
thank you for the help, I think sembee is right but opie6373 also a bit even if I do not really have the answer I wanted. So I will split points as you two were actively participating in this question.
