For Admins: How can I set up Calendar Sync with multiple Exchange service accounts?

If your Microsoft Exchange organization uses multiple service accounts and you want to enable Calendar Sync, there are a number of important steps you must complete. We'd recommend first reaching out to your Cirrus Insight Success Manager, Account Executive, or the support team at cirrusinsight.com/support.

Requirements

You'll need Cirrus Insight Admin permissions in order to set up Calendar Sync for your org.

Cirrus Insight requires a service account with impersonation rights to all the Exchange calendars that your org will want to sync. To set this up, please begin by following the steps in our guide, For Admins: How do I configure the Impersonation Role for Exchange Calendar Sync?

Setting Up the Initial Exchange Service Account

1. Begin by completing all the steps in our guide:

Adding More Service Accounts

2. After the initial service account is successfully set up, you can add more service accounts. Make sure to verify additional service accounts at testconnectivity.microsoft.com 


3. Then, navigate to this hidden setup page:

This will take you to a page titled License Service Accounts:
