exchange 2010 mailbox - restrict access to user's own mailbox
not sure if this is the best approach to accomplish the task, but here goes.
I have a Room mailbox, with 2 administrators to manage the calendar.
The Room calendar needs to be displayed on a "public" display - a monitor/TV in the office.
I need to have a "public access" user with the following restrictions:
- allowed to see the room calendar (read only)
- not allowed to send/rcv in its own mailbox (the public user, that is)
- not allowed access to its own mailbox folders
I'm thinking I need a second user/mailbox, who can open outlook and access the Room mailbox, and that's it - not access its own mail folders (Inbox, Calendar, Contacts, etc.) and not send/rcv any mail.
Or...(hopefully), there is an easier method to have a public-view of the Room mailbox.

why you are giving admin level access to room mailbox. I suggest you to read room mailbox concept and how to use it.

That's not my question - but I appreciate the concern.
The issue is not who has access to the calendar currently.
The issue is how best to create a "public view" on a device with public access (to employees, not to random people walking by), while preventing the Public Viewer from sending email to/from the account used to display the Room calendar.
In other words, we have a Room Calendar, and a PC connected to a TV so users can browse the Room Calendar - now I need to make sure that's *ALL* the public user can do - both on the Room Calendar and the account used to access Exchange.
Thanks.

change the room mailbox to a type shared using powershell and give calendar permission to the users putting on the display
