Hello sidhem,

Hi Victor_Ivanidze , Thank you for your reply. You are right. Power Apps behaves like any other Outlook / OWA client. We tried a workaround and it meets our criteria perfectly.

We used a service account in O365 which has exclusive rights to book meeting rooms and used an O365 outlook connector based on this service account in the Power App.

This way, even though users are able to see the rooms through outlook they are unable to book.

I've concentrated on requirement that the room mailboxes have to be hidden .
