We're a k-8 school using the Office365 for Edu plan A2 for our staff.
We use a mix of OWA & Outlook 2007
I'm looking for the best way to incorporate our staff absences into a shared calendar resource.
Looking around online is turning up all sort of information, much of it out dated, some of it conflicting, most of it not exactly what I'm looking for.
I need to be able to set this calendar to be viewable by all staff members (from OWA and Outlook 2007 client on Win7) but to have it only be editable by 1 or 2 selected users. They will manually edit/add events to the calendar.
I've seen suggestions about using security groups, sharepoint sites, shared mailboxes, and "room"-type resources. I'm not sure which really makes the most sense here and is easiest to implement and manage.
Ideally, this calendar and details will be plainly viewable to all users without the need to train them on how to import calendars,events, or shares.
Can anyone help?
Recap:
Needs-
A calendar that can be easily viewed by All staff in OWA and Outlook 2007
Is only editable by select individuals
Doesn't require extensive upkeep, or complex configuration (we don't currently use sharepoint)
I'm looking to achieve this without having to explain to every single staff member individually how to configure their OWA & Outlook to be able to see the calendar.
