Permission levels should be set according to the privilege your Calendar Browser users require.

This is a brief description on the privileges/permission levels available:

Owner - Can create, read, edit, and delete any item in the folder. An owner can also create sub-folders and modify permissions for all other users of the folder.

Publishing Editor - Can create, read, edit, and delete any item in the folder as well as create sub-folders. A publishing editor cannot modify permissions.

Editor - Can create, read, edit and delete all items in the folder but cannot create subfolders.

Author - Can create, read, edit, and delete their own items, but cannot modify or delete others' items.

Publishing Author - Can create and read all items, as well as edit and delete their own items. A publishing author can also create subfolders.

Nonediting Author - Can create and read items, but cannot edit any items. A nonediting author can delete only his own items.

Contributor - Can create items only.

Reviewer - Can read items, but not create or edit items.

Custom - Any combination of permissions not explicitly described earlier in this table.

None - Cannot view the folder.

Typically most Calendar Browser users would require Editor or Publishing Editor to add/remove/change bookings on a public folder calendar. But this could be fine-tuned according to the level of accessibility you want with your users.

The owner of the Calendar Browser public folder usually grant/sets permission level for other users in case of public folder calendars.

With respect to direct booking mailbox, the mailbox owner has to set/grant permission over its calendar.
