Question
How do I manage the booking options for my resource mailbox in Office 365?
Overview
Users need an O365 mailbox to create and log into Bookings. For simply interacting with Bookings (non editing), users do not need an O365 mailbox.
If you or your users need an O365 mailbox, email ithelp@ucdavis.edu for assistance.
Answer
If you want more detailed resource booking options, you must give yourself full mailbox permissions on that resource by clicking on the mailbox delegation tab on the resource properties and then adding an account to the full access list.
Once added, use that account to:
- Log into 365.ucdavis.edu.
- Click on your picture in the upper right of the screen and select open another mailbox.
- Enter the name of the resource.
- Once that mailbox opens (it could take a bit for the permissions to replicate),
- Click on the gear in the upper right and select options.
- Click on Settings on the left.
- Under the resource tab, you will have more options such as who it will accept messages from.
Be sure to go back and remove your full mailbox permissions when done.
