If your department is balking at giving you permissions to view their outlook
calendar, there is an option where they can mark times as private.

Others won't see why they're not available, but will see that they are
unavailable.

(I think you need MS Exchange server, too, IIRC. But it's been a while.)

What's the best tool to use (Excel?) to allow me to compare available times
of several people? I currently call people to inquire about their
availability for meetings. I would like to build a spreadsheet that will
sort through the info I gather and determine the best time to hold the
meeting. Giving me permissions to all their calendars would not be feasible.
