Are you using the newest SOGo version? There was a bug, that did that. In the newest versions 2 + 3 that is fixed, and subscribed calendars are not included in free/busy per default. > How can we reset the option in all user's subscriptions (batch, > script, whatever)? > You could do that via sogo-tool in a script. It is a bit tricky, because you need to change the "FreeBusyExclusions" part of "Calendar". Therefore I would make a backup of all accounts, change the free busy exclusion and restore the settings again (restore option -p). > Btw: What *exactly* is the intended effect of "include in free/busy"? > Free/busy is shown, when you invite other peoples to an event. With that you can see, if the invited person has already an appointment or not at this date and time. If you use resource accounts, they will only accept appointments, when free at that time (or there are less appointments as defined as max) For subscribed calendars: Some of our users for example have a department meeting calendar. Everyone from that department has change privileges on it, That one contains meetings, where everyone in that department will be participating. Therefore all of them have it subscribed and selected to include it in their free/busy. When a meeting is stored in that calendar, everyone from that department will be shown as busy at its duration. You could do that by using one person and invite all other paticipants. But the down side of that is, that only this owner could change that event, without having change permissions in the owners (personal) calendar. And if you do not provide groups, the owner would have to add all department members to each meeting. For own calendars: You can create a calendar, which only gives you hints, like birthdays of your friends. You will not be busy the whole day, but you need to know when they are. Because of that you mark that birthday calendar as free by excluding it from your free/busy. So it depends on your users workflows and preferences, if you need that or not.
