When you install the Webex Scheduler, a note appears that the Webex Scheduler uses the permission Read/write mailbox. The Webex Scheduler uses this permission to make Exchange Web Services API calls.

Install the Webex Scheduler from Microsoft AppSource

Use Microsoft AppSource to install and deploy the Webex Scheduler, so that you automatically get updates to the Webex Scheduler.

 

You cannot use Microsoft AppSource to install and deploy the Webex Scheduler for Microsoft Exchange.

Go to Microsoft AppSource.

2

Search for the Cisco Webex Scheduler app.

Select Get it now and follow the on-screen instructions.

Install the Webex Scheduler from a manifest file

If you can't use Microsoft AppSource, you can deploy the Webex Scheduler from a manifest file.


 

Webex Scheduler does not automatically update with this method. Reinstall and redeploy the Webex Scheduler with the manifest file when you want to update it.
