Units can report the information regarding rooms and other resources (such as research equipment or a vehicle) that can be reserved in Outlook's and OWA's calendars in two ways: E-form or Excel file.
The rooms and resources added to the calendar can be viewed by everyone. The reservation right, however, is limited and, therefore, the user might not be able to make reservations even if the room or other resource is included in the reservation list. The contact person can determine in conjunction with the reservation whether to limit the reservation right and how (see limiting reservation rights).
In conjunction with the centralised implementation, the existing conference rooms of a department or another similar unit can be transferred centrally into an Microsoft 365 calendar. Report the information with an Excel file.

- everyone can reserve
- reservation right has been limited based on separate IAM-groups
