Applying changes to a email list worth of inboxes

I am trying to assign reviewer rights to all of the main office staff’s calendars per company decision. If you run this script and feed it my o365 credentials, it will run then fail because the emails being used have the "PrimarySmtpAddress: " attached to them. How can I make this script run?

$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/ -Credential $UserCredential -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
Import-PSSession $Session -DisableNameChecking

$officelist = get-distributiongroupmember -identity “officelist” | select PrimarySMTPAddress

foreach ($email in $officelist){

Add-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity ${email}:\calendar -user ******@domain.com -AccessRights Reviewer}

try

$officelist = get-distributiongroupmember -identity "officelist" | select -exp PrimarySMTPAddress

# or

$officelist = (get-distributiongroupmember -identity "officelist").PrimarySMTPAddress

Try what I have below. I’m not somewhere I can test this at the moment.

$officelist = (get-distributiongroupmember -identity "officelist").PrimarySMTPAddress

$officelist = get-distributiongroupmember -identity "officelist"
foreach ($email in $officelist.PrimarySMTPAddress) {    
    Add-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity "${email}:\Calendar" -user ******@domain.com -AccessRights Reviewer
}

The Identity parameter needed quoting too.
