Feedback and Ideas

 for other users, honoring their existing sharing permissions. This would allow users to coordinate meetings and understand meeting load 

, and allow managers (with employee consent) to see high‑level meeting analytics.

 for someone else’s Outlook calendar, regardless of what calendar sharing permissions are set.

Users must leave Glean and open Outlook/Graph-backed tools to find mutually available times.

Managers and team leads cannot use Glean to understand high-level calendar utilization (e.g., how much time is spent in meetings, 1:1s, etc.), even when they already have appropriate delegated access in Outlook.

This breaks the “stay in Glean” workflow for scheduling and meeting analysis.

A user is planning a cross-functional meeting and wants to quickly check 

 for 5–10 stakeholders from within a Glean workflow (e.g., while drafting a project plan or email in Glean Assistant).

Today they must alt‑tab into Outlook or another scheduling tool to see free/busy, then come back to Glean to continue their work.

how much time their direct reports spend in recurring meetings, 1:1s, and large group sessions

 to identify overload and improve team health.

They already have delegated calendar access in Outlook (per employee consent), but Glean cannot surface even high-level statistics, so they cannot use Glean as a single place to reason about work patterns.

A Glean Agent is helping a user “find a time next week for a 30‑minute sync with my team.”

The agent could propose options directly if Glean could read 

 via Graph, but today it has no visibility.

 to allow Glean to query calendar information for other users, strictly honoring Outlook’s existing sharing permissions. Specifically, support the three common Outlook sharing levels:

, with no subject or location, and use that to propose times or visualize availability.

 of events (no body), enabling higher‑quality scheduling suggestions (e.g., avoiding overlapping travel meetings) and simple categorization (e.g., 1:1 vs. group meeting based on title).

full details of non‑private items (read‑only)

, enabling richer analytics and workflows where appropriate (e.g., understanding how many hours are spent in specific types of meetings while still respecting private events).

all existing Outlook/Graph privacy and sharing controls

 and clearly governed in Admin / security configuration.

Provide primitives that Agents and experiences (e.g., Glean Assistant) can call to:

Suggest meeting times based on multi-person free/busy.

Summarize calendar load (hours/week, meeting type breakdown).

Answer questions like “Do I have time for a 60‑minute deep work block on Thursday?”

 Users stay in Glean for end‑to‑end workflows (reasoning + scheduling) instead of context‑switching to Outlook solely to check availability.

 With consent-based access, managers can use Glean to see high‑level meeting load patterns (e.g., % of time in 1:1s vs. large group meetings) and act on burnout risk or process issues.

 as first-class signals, improving use cases like scheduling, planning, and load-balancing across teammates.

Better alignment with existing Microsoft investment:

 Customers already rely on Outlook/Graph permissions; this feature lets Glean 

 that model instead of forcing parallel calendars or manual workarounds.
