Using SharePoint 2010 we're trying to schedule multiple conference rooms in a single calendar using calendar resources as described here: office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-server-help/enable-reservation-of-resources-in-a-calendar-HA101810595 (dot) aspx
Our requirements are that most of the conference rooms (resources) may be scheduled by anyone, but two of the rooms may only be scheduled by some users (a different set of users for each room...three sets of permissions).
I suspect there is no way to articulate permissions for different resources, all coming from the same resource list, and I can not figure out how to create more than one resource list per subweb. My solution has been to create two subwebs, one for each of the restricted calendars, and have three different calendars which I'm trying to conceal to some degree from the user by making everything look the same, having the same navigational structure everywhere, etc.
A near-requirement (strongly desired but not absolutely required) is for a master view of all the conference room schedules. Not sure how I'm going to do this yet.
Questions are:
- Is there a way to assign different permissions to different resources?
- Is there a way to establish more than one resource list for this type of calendar within a single subweb, and if so, how do you assign different calendars to different lists?
- With the approach I've taken, is there a way to combine my three calendars into a single calendar (ideally) or a single "schedule" that users may use to see which conference rooms might be open for a desired date/time?
Thanks in advance.
