Outlook – One of more users cannot be added to the folder access list

When you try and share or change permissions on a calendar in outlook you might see a little no entry sign next to a users name as shown below :-

Outlook1

If you try and add them into the permissions your get the error :

One of more users cannot be added to the folder access list. Non-local users cannot be given rights on this server
Outlook1

The reason why your getting this if the user your trying to add is most likely set to a shared mailbox.

Outlook2

You need to convert it back to a user mailbox for it to work.

To do this drop into powershell and run the command

Set-Mailbox "mailbox display name" -Type:Regular
