How to Manage Exchange Resources

Exchange resources are managed and controlled by the individuals who are members of the department's Resource Coordinators group. Typically, resources are set up to handle meeting requests on a first come, first served basis.

Heads up: To write events directly to a Resource Calendar, the user must be a member of the Resource Coordinators group for the department.
