can't access Calendar event item attributes

[waldek8]

Hi,
I've got several novice questions according accessing Calendar through exchangelib. I'm extracting events from meeting room's calendar.
I don't really know whom I have to address those questions, here or to my EWS administrator.

Questions are:

1. Calendar's item Subject attribute isn't real subject. It always show meeting organizers Name. Example:
   ('Subject: ', 'Name Surname | FLT ')
   Is there a way to extract real meeting subject?

2. I can't get Body of an meeting. It is always None, even if there is a body in Outlooks Calendar event. Answer I get is always:
   ('Body: ', None)

3. I can't get response_type of Attendee. It is always unknown, even if responses are shown through Outlooks calendar:
   response_type='Unknown'

4. Categories of event are always None: ('Categories: ', None), even if Categories (colors) are assigned for the event.

5. What Calendar item attribute in exchangelib is "responsible" for showing Private tag of the meeting event?

Thank you for your help.

1. I've seen this reported before but have no idea where the problem is. We just read the subject field as it's delivered by the API. It may be that your client is showing something else than the actual field contents on the Exchange server.

2. You need to show your example code here, including the version of exchangelib you tested with.

3. The response_type is apparently only available on the calendar item of the organizer. See meeting attendee's response update #362

4. Again, please post your code. It's also possible that the colors are not, in fact, provided by categories, but some extended property instead.

5. That would be the sensitivity field. Be aware of the gotcha in ErrorAccessDenied thrown if folder contains private items #342 when fetching private items of another user's calendar.

Thank you, Eric.
You're right. All those attributes can be accessed only if I'm organizer of the meeting.

In other case, when connecting as meeting room, which, evidently, isn't the organizer, I can't get all desired info (Body, Categories, Response_type).

Will try to solve this issue with my Exchange server administrator.

Do you need further assistance with the remaining points?
