Sharing Another Calendar - Outlook 2016
Hello, I have a calendar shared with me, is it possible for me to share this calendar with someone else? The original user we dont know their password and it's too much of a pain to reset/change it.
We use Outlook 2016 and Exchange 2016

No, you can't share someone else's calendar that they shared with you.

Can i adjust any permissions in Exchange ?
you can give the user full manage permissions to the mailbox and that will allow them the view the calendar.
ASKER
tim, that would be great - how would i do that?
In the Exchange management shell run the following:
Add-MailboxPermission -Identity "share mailbox" -User "username who needs access" -AccessRights FullAccess -InheritanceType All -AutoMapping $false
Allow about 30 minutes for AD replication and then you can add the calendar for the user.
Add-MailboxPermission -Identity "share mailbox" -User "username who needs access" -AccessRights FullAccess -InheritanceType All -AutoMapping $false
Allow about 30 minutes for AD replication and then you can add the calendar for the user.

Tim - any way to do it through admin center - not comfortable with shell yet :(
Yes, see the below link it will give you instructions, the only thing with the GUI is with the permissions the user will see the entire mailbox and not just the calendar. If you are ok with that then follow the link. The mailbox will appear in the users outlook in about 30 minutes once you assign the permissions:
