    Looks like you have signed into Teams in your web browser and then switched organization to another (Microsoft?). Open https://teams.microsoft.com and make sure that you are in your home organization.

      i was able to solve this on a shared mailbox today. I had been giving outlook permissions on just the calendar, but really you have to get owner on the whole mailbox.
      I had previously added teams license to the shared mailbox and activated the user account. I am not sure if that is necessary as it didnt work till i actually made owner.

      1.) Give the user delegate rights on the mailbox. This will make it show up in their outlook.

      2.) Go to the users outlook. Find the mailbox in the left hand side

      3.) right click on the mailbox and go to "data file properties".

      4.) go to permissions, make the user an owner. of the calendar

      this should now work. They should be able to edit the options now.

       

      edit: i should say that these "outlook permissions" are completely seperate from delegate access in exchange. Many people do not realize there are two sets of permissions. THe ones you manipulate inside outlook, and the ones you do at the exchange level. Yes that sucks a lot.

    I have multiple accounts with Teams but I checked the website and was with the same organizer's account but receive the same message when I like to change the meeting options. We have two accounts for our institutions (one short version and one is our full name before @). I guess this is the issue that the Teams cannot understand if I am using the short version or full name (it brings my short version email and say "Your account, behkou@..., doesn't have permissions to make changes". Any solution?

      I found the reason for it! The Outlook created Teams meeting with another account of myself while it's weird since I created Teams meeting with specific account! I guess my Outlook needs restarting!

    LinusCansby Hi, I am having the same issue. Could you clarify what you mean by "confirm you are in your home organization"?  I am signed in to Teams with the same account in both browser and app, but still get the same message.
