Restrict Access to Conference Room Scheduling

1. 1. Resource Scheduling Settings

   *Make sure you have FULL ACCESS to the meeting room resource.
   1. Open OWA (Office/Outlook web app) and click your name in the top-right corner.
   2. Click "Open another mailbox..." and find the meeting room resource.
   3. Go to Settings and click Calendar.
   4. Go to Resource scheduling (see below).
   5. Configure the Scheduling Options and Scheduling Permissions sections. (Note: If you are attempting to limit access to the users in a security group, like Magnolia Conference Room Booking Allowed, it must be configured to be mail-enabled before the option will appear under "Specific people and groups.")
   6. Click Save when finished making changes.

There may be an alternative method of restricting this access via a PowerShell script.  Example (after connecting to ExchangeOnline in PowerShell):

$group = "Magnolia Conference Room Booking Allowed"

Set-CalendarProcessing -Identity "Teams Rm. - Magnolia" -AutomateProcessing AutoAccept -BookInPolicy $group.Identity -AllBookInPolicy $false
