Direct Booking
Dear all
I re-post my questions here to see if anyone could further give me suggestions. The message was originally replied to Greg Mansius who answered my question initially. Thanks a lot. --------------------------------------------- Greg I spent this whole afternoon to check all the technical document trying to learn more about direct booking. I have few more questions and hope you can help. 1. You said using Delegate is one way to tackle the problem we have. Does it mean that I could not use direct booking? If not, is there way to assign a delegate to accept meeting requests automatically. The thing is somehow the problem I mentioned was not there before until one day we might have accidentally deleted some user/group objects in AD during the AD housekeeping process and we think the deleted user/group objects might be one(s) granted appropriate rights to access the Calender folder of the resource account. That is, previously, all our department users could do resource booking but could not view other bookings of which he/she is not one of the attendees. 2. One thing I tried this afternoon was that I changed the permission for the department user group to access the Calendar folder with "Create items" and set the "edit" and "delete" items rights to "Own". But then those users are still able to read/delete details of other bookings he/she not an attendee. Shouldn't the user group has access to other bookings if the group is not given "Read items" rights. I am really confused. 3. Currently, we have direct booking configured, but then we also have 2 individual users configured as Delegate to the Calendar folder with "Editor" rights. Is this OK? I mean can we have Direct Booking and Delegate both activated at the same time. I thank you in advance for your time. Esmond -----Original Message----- Esmond, The minimum permissions for getting the Direct Booking feature to work allow any authorized user access to the Calendar folder for the Resource account. So, at any time, an authorized user can always do a File - Open - Other User's Folder and open the Calendar folder. These permissions are the minimum permissions to get the direct booking feature to work. If these permissions expose too much information on the resource then you might have to resort to a Delegate manually accepting/declining the meeting requests for the resource. Hope this helps. -- Greg Mansius [MSFT] This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. "Esmond Koo" wrote in message ... Hi, Some questions regarding direct booking. We have a resource account (conference room) set up with rights granted to a particular group of users to do direct booking. The permissions we permit to the group is "Create items", "Read items", "Folder visible" and with "Edit items" set to "All" and "Delete items" set to "Own". With this settings, we found that everyone in the group could view the appointment in the Outlook resource even though he/she is not one of attendees or the meeting organizer. Please advise what permissions we should set to allow only the attendees and the organizer to see the booking. Thanks in advance. |
