SYMPTOMS
If you set access privileges for Microsoft Schedule+ to View Free/Busy Times, and a specified user attempts to open your appointment book, the user will receive the following error:

The schedule file could not be opened. You may not have the necessary access privileges or the file may be unavailable.



RESOLUTION
To allow other users to open your appointment book, you must grant them at least the Read Appointments & Tasks level of privileges.



MORE INFORMATION
The View Free/Busy Times privilege does not give a Schedule+ user the ability to open your appointment book. This privilege allows the user to view free/busy information by selecting the planner section, then adding the person you want to see free/busy information for as an attendee. Busy times will appear as colored lines on the grid. Alternatively, free times will appear as blank areas.

To have the ability to open another's appointment book you need to give the user at least Read Appointments and Tasks privileges.

The following is a summary of access privileges and what they allow from lowest to highest privilege:

None - This access privilege denies the specified user(s) all access to your schedule, including viewing your appointment book and task list, and comparing your free and busy times to theirs in the planner.

View Free/Busy Times - Grants the specified user the ability to overlay your schedule on his or hers in the planner, to compare availability for meetings. Users with this access privilege cannot view or change your appointments, tentative appointments, or tasks.

Read Appointments & Tasks - Grants the specified user the ability to view your appointments and tasks (except for those you designated as private). This access privilege does not allow the user to create, modify, or delete entries in your appointment book or task list.

Create Appointments & Tasks - Grants the specified user the ability to create entries in your appointment book and task list. The user can delete or modify any appointments he or she made.

Modify Appointments & Tasks - Grants the specified user the ability to create, modify, or delete any entries in your appointment book and task list, regardless of who made the appointments and tasks, except those you designated as private. When you appoint another user to be your schedule assistant, that user automatically receives this access privilege.

Assistant - Permits the specified user to view, create, delete, and modify your appointments and tasks, except those you have designated private. Your assistant can send and receive meeting messages on your behalf. Your assistant does not need to know your schedule password.
