Create bookingStaffMember also requires Add-MailboxPermission
I created an Entra application with the required Graph permissions to manage Bookings scheduling mailboxes so that I could update the staffing for a Bookings page that I'm not a staff member of. Using that application to request a Microsoft Graph access token, meant I had the required permissions to add a user account (that already had a Bookings license) as an "administrator" (role) for a Bookings page (Bookings business), to replace another person who was the previous Bookings page administrator, but who had since left. I used https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/bookingbusiness-post-staffmembers?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=powershell to do this. For the record, I was not able to do this using https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.graph.bookings/new-mgbookingbusinessstaffmember?view=graph-powershell-1.0 using Microsoft.Graph.Bookings module version 2.30.0, presumably because I am not a staff member with the Bookings "administrator" role for that particular Bookings page. However, the newly added user could not access that Bookings page at https://outlook.office.com/bookings/homepage until a further step had been completed (Error: "You don't have access to this booking page" shows instead). To ensure the new Bookings page administrator could access the Bookings page, I needed to add mailbox permissions, which I used https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchangepowershell/add-mailboxpermission?view=exchange-ps for. I found that giving the new Bookings page administrator full access to the scheduling mailbox ensured they could access the Bookings page. Example using ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module: Add-MailboxPermission -Identity email address removed for privacy reasons -User email address removed for privacy reasons -AccessRights FullAccess If there is a more efficient way for an system admin to add new staff to a Bookings page, please let me know - otherwise, hopefully this helps someone who gets stuck 😊
Room resource is not auto accepting emails sent from bookings.
I have been asked to create a new room resource for a Bookings shared space. This Bookings space has other room resources that are working fine. The expected behavior is that Users will book with these room resources that are added as Staff within the Bookings space. Bookings will send an email invite to the room resource, and it will automatically accept. This will add the invite to the Bookings calendar for the staff and also add the meeting invite to the Room Resource. I have created a new room resource and added as a Staff / Team Member role in the Bookings space. When booking with that new room resource the invite is no automatically being accepted as it is for others. In the image above you can see the invite appears on my calendar but not on the room resources calendar. This is critical as this room resource calendar is tied to a touch panel screen for booking that room. In the image above you can see the meeting appears on the bookings calendar. Taking a look at the mailboxes deleted items I can see the meeting invite makes it to the inbox, but the meeting is not accepted. Auto accept invites are turned on The deleted items of room resource setup exactly the same to my knowledge show the invites getting accepted Can I get some guidance on getting Bookings to correctly send meeting invites to my room resource so they can be accepted?
