Hello

We have some room booking delegates. all is working fine but for some VIP rooms, these delegates are booking the rooms directly in the room calendar from Outlook. They don't create a meeting. It works the rooms is properly reserved

The issue we have, appears  when the meeting change and the delegates just need to delete the booking to release the slot. He receives an error about not having enough rights ! The workaround, is to move the meeting during the night to release the free slot.

The other workaround is the change the booking delegates as FullAccess, but we prefer having them just as Booking Delegates.

Is this a normal behavior. A booking delegate not being able to delete his own booking in a resource calendar ?

everything is configured though the Exch 2013 GUI interface and nothing in Powershell, so maybe they don't have enough rights

 

thanks for your help

 

by default delegates will only have Editor access on the calendar. So they can only read, create and modify items. To remove the items you have to give publishing editor access on the calendar properties.

Hi John

Many thanks for your answer, unfortunately it doesn't work

I set it on folder Calendar, maybe it is not the right place ?

Set-MailboxFolderPermission -identity MyRoom:\calendar -user testuser  -AccessRights PublishingEditor

I checked and both roles have delete rights

PublishingEditor   CreateItems, ReadItems, CreateSubfolders, FolderVisible, EditOwnedItems, EditAllItems, DeleteOwnedItems, DeleteAllItems

Editor   CreateItems, ReadItems, FolderVisible, EditOwnedItems, EditAllItems, DeleteOwnedItems, DeleteAllItems

Regards,
Guillaume

after giving access can you try to remove and re-add the calendar from outlook?

Hi John,

I only tried with a test user and it doesn't work. Anyway I tried later with VIP secretary and it works for her. Test users  are sometime to customized to work as it should.

On my side I don't understand why Publishing Editor role is necessary as Editor  has delete rights.

Anyway she is very happy. so many thanks for your help!
