I'm having a frustrating issue with adding calendar permissions in Exchange Online. When I try to run the `Add-MailboxFolderPermission` command, it fails with an error saying that the specified item wasn't found in the store. The command I'm using looks like this: `Add-MailboxFolderPermission [email protected]:Calendar -User [email protected] -AccessRights limiteddetails`. This user already has 48 people added to their calendar, and I've double-checked the spelling of their "Calendar" folder. Microsoft Support offered some suggestions, but they don't seem applicable to this situation.
Has anyone encountered something similar? I'm starting to feel like this is a problem only Microsoft can fix. I've dealt with a few tickets like this before regarding issues with AutoDiscover and users unable to access their emails. Any insights would be appreciated!

Have you tried adding the permission using the Folder ID instead? You can find the Folder ID with the command: `Get-MailboxFolderStatistics [email protected] | Where-Object {$_.FolderType -eq "Calendar"} | Select-Object FolderId`. Then use that ID in your `Add-MailboxFolderPermission` command.
I've had a similar issue, and what worked for me was using the mailbox alias instead of the full email address when specifying the folder path. For instance, try using `HSolo:Calendar` instead of `[email protected]:Calendar`. It seems like sometimes the system doesn't recognize the email address properly. Give that a shot!
Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately, I still ran into the same error trying that approach.
Maybe try using `Set-MailboxFolderPermission` instead of `Add-MailboxFolderPermission`? It might handle the situation differently and help bypass this error.
Are you possibly dealing with a hybrid setup? Sometimes that can complicate permissions like this. Just checking if that could be an angle worth exploring.
I attempted that, but even using the Folder ID led to errors. The command seems to still not find the specified item.
