How to hide calendar item details from schedule tab in Outlook?

Not sure if this is an Exchange Admin issue or if it is a client-based
issue, so forgive me for the cross post.

When users create a meeting request and click on the Scheduling tab, they
see the free/busy data and can mouse over it to see details about the user's
whereabouts.

I seem to recall, in a previous Exchange environment, that you could disable
the ability to see these appointment details at the server level.

I know the users can set their meetings as 'Private', but that involves
training them.

Thanks,
JM

Unless you have permissions to the user's calendar folder (at least
reviewer), or their whole mailbox, you won't see any details at all. Perhaps
your users have permissions they oughtn't?

Perhaps they do. In fact, I'll bet money they do.

What permissions do I set to allow users to view the available time without
seeing the details of the appointment in the schedule tab?

And do you want to change this?

None! If you set up a mailbox, and don't grant anyone else full mailbox
rights to it, and don't go into Outlook's sharing/delegates stuff to grant
anyone else rights, nobody but the mailbox owner will see any of the
details.

So the real issue is, what permissions do your users have that they
shouldn't have, and how were those set?

The individual user has control of this - in Outlook, Tools->Options->Calendar Option->Planner Options->Show Details in Calendar Grid. Check or uncheck as the user wishes.
