Office 365 Room booking Calendar permissions

[Theldron]

Hi all,

 

I am setting up Office 365 room bookings calendar and i want to setup permissions so that staff can add room bookings but not delete anyone else's bookings.

 

When I try to share the room calendar all i get are Can View when i'm busy, Can view titles and location, Can view all details, Can edit.

 

Can this be done?

 

Cheers

You should see questions about capacity, whether repeating meetings etc are allowed. Did you create the room as a "resource" rather than as a standard user calendar?

 

You can decide whether to allow anyone to book the room if it's free or whether their booking is treated as a request to be signed off by someone. I prefer the former - moderation can be a pain, so allow first come first served unless you have a particular problem.

 

Here's how to create a resource calendar and control permissions -https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/admin/manage/room-and-equipment-mailboxes?view=o365-worldwide#set-up-room-and-equipment-mailboxes

Hi, thanks for that. Yeah I did create a room, with capacity etc. from my admin dashboard on Office 365. But I am finding anyone can delete bookings that have been made. I'm just not sure how to give people the ability to make bookings for themselves, but not to delete anyone's bookings as they can do now.

 

Do you share the calendar as you would normally?

I think that resource calendar sharing is only needed if you want external people to be able to see status, internal users should be able to see availability and book without explicit sharing.
