Shared calendar and out of office responses?

[Guest]

I have an instance where a user has a shared calendar but when an event is
placed in the calendar one of the people who this is shared with sends an
"Out of Office" notice to the user who set up the appointment. Any idea why
that would be happening? The users with rights to the calendar are set to
editors. Thanks!

That person is apparently set as a delegate for that mailbox.

Would that actually have them send an out of office from another person's
shared calendar? I guess it would or you would not have mentioned it!
Thanks!

On the prior note though, how do you allow someone send as rights and editing
rights on a shared calendar without this happening? It just seems odd that
one with rights to edit a shared calendar and is currently using an out of
office email message would send this to someone who sent a meeting request to
the other person's account in the shared calendar.

This is the scenario I envisioned:

User A's calendar is shared.

User B is a delegate on that calendar.

User C invites User A to a meeting.

User B gets the meeting request because they're a delegate. Because User B has OOA turned on, User C gets an OOA notification.

The OOA notice is coming not from any shared calendar, but from User B's Inbox.
