How do I check the sharing permissions on my calendar?(Outlook)

All Aberystwyth University Exchange mailboxes will have the following permissions set by default:

  • Default - is the permissions on your calendar granted to all other AU Exchange users. This is set to None by default and you should not change this.

  • Anonymous - is the permissions on your calendar granted to any other user. This is set to None by default and you should not change this.

  • ALL_STAFF - is the permissions on your calendar granted to all other AU staff. This is set to Free/Busy time by default and you should be very careful about changing this.

  • Any additional permissions that you have granted to colleagues will be displayed underneath.

To check the permissions set on your own calendar:

  • Open Microsoft Outlook 

  • Choose Calendar on the bottom left of the screen

  • Right-click on your calendar and select Properties

  • Click on the Permissions tab

  • You will see the permissions applied to your calendar:
