Android Tablet and Outlook

I have a Lenovo Android tablet running OS 5.1 that I am going to use as a calendar only.  

What I have done so far:
Added the Exchange account
Synced the calendar only
Added calendar items

What I need:
The ability to allow users to add calendar items on the fly from the tablet
The ability to prevent users from deleting added items from the tablet. - I need the users to contact the IT department to request the calendar item be removed.

I attempted to configure my permissions in Outlook as Custom with full details, but no ability to delete and the ability to add.  When I test the calendar on the tablet allows me to delete added items.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks

Try to create a shared mailbox and assign the tablet user contributor rights to the shared calendar.
Which version of exchange?

ASKER

I am running Exchange 2010
I was unable to get permissions to apply even through a shared mailbox with contributor rights.  The tablet user is still able to delete calendar items.

The tablet does not seem to take into account any permissions set by my organization on apps or the built in email/calendar client.
