Setting user access rights to edit and delete reservations

Reservations that are created manually or with Calendaring and Scheduling can be edited by Notes® client users or Web browser users who have the necessary access in the database ACL of the Resource Reservations database.

About this task

Single-room, non-repeating reservations that are created manually in the Resource Reservations database can be edited by the requester of the reservation, with appropriate access to the Resource Reservations database, if the reservation has a status of waiting for approval or if the reservation has been accepted. Repeating room or resource reservations that are created manually cannot be edited.

Reservations that are created manually or with Calendaring and Scheduling, can be deleted by either requestors, resource owners, or database managers, as long as all such users have appropriate access.

Procedure

In the database ACL of the Resource Reservations database, assign the following levels of access to any users who need to edit or delete reservations, regardless of interface used:
  • Grant at least Editor access.
  • Assign deletion rights.
  • Assign the CreateResource role.

Results

For users with the preceding access rights:
  • In the Notes client, the Delete Reservation button is enabled.
  • In a Web view, via a Web browser, the Move to Trash and the Empty Trash buttons are enabled.
