[Show Quoted Text - 10 lines][Hide Quoted Text] When other users shares his calendar with you, and you want to synchronize that calendar to tour mobile phone (for example) using activesync, you have to have write permissions on that calendar. This means it's not possible to let other user see ower calendar on a device which syncs the calendar using activesync without give write permission to the other user in that calendar. Besides you dont want other people to write on your calendar, this creates a lot of confusion because then you can acidentally write on other people calendars. This is a limitation of the ActiveSync protocol. There is no idea of permissions in the protocol, it's designed for synchronizing resources owned by the user. We explicitly filter out non-writable resources when synchronizing.
