In today's fast-paced business environment, the use of electronic calendars has become an integral part of our daily lives. Whether it's planning meetings, setting reminders, or coordinating with colleagues, calendars play a crucial role in ensuring efficiency and productivity. As a result, managing calendar access and permissions in Microsoft Exchange Server has become increasingly important for organization's IT administrators. In this article, we will explore how to use the Exchange Administration Center (EAC) to manage calendar access and permissions in your organization's Microsoft Exchange environment.

Calendar permissions in Exchange enable you to control who can access and use your organization's calendars. These permissions can be applied at the user level or the calendar level. There are two types of permissions that can be applied to calendar objects:

a. Read Access: This permission allows users to view the calendar content, including appointments, meetings, and reminders.

b. Edit Access: This permission allows users to create, edit, and delete appointments, meetings, and reminders on their calendar object.

To manage calendar access and permissions in EAC, follow these steps:

1. Login to the Exchange Administration Center (EAC) using your organization's domain account.

2. Navigate to the "Calendar" folder in the left-hand menu.

3. Select the "Calendar Permissions" icon that appears under the "Calendar" folder.

4. On the "Calendar Permissions" page, you will see a list of calendar objects and their associated permissions.

6. On the "Calendar Permissions" page, you can apply read or edit permissions to the selected calendar object.
