Set Calendar Permissions (TAMU Exchange)

Setting calendar permissions for any TAMU individual is not too difficult, assuming that person has been migrated to the new TAMU Exchange e-mail server.  If you are unsure if your CEHD\HLKN e-mail has been migrated or would like to migrate your e-mail, please contact Technology Services during standard business hours. 

NOTE - You need only make these changes once per user for them to apply globally.

 

Windows (Outlook 2013/2016)

If you would like to set calendar permissions via Outlook on your Windows desktop, you may follow the directions provided below:
