Accessing the Exchange Connector as a resource

When a resource is added to the Dime.Scheduler Exchange connector - by the administrator or automatically by the scheduled resource synchronization job - the system creates a user account for that resource. There are two user account types in the connector: administrators and resources. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see where this is going: resources will be assigned to a resource user account.

Such a user account is only able to access and modify his own synchronization preferences:

Resource Exchange Synchronization Settings

Resources can manage whether they will allow events in their calendar to synchronize back to Dime.Scheduler and if so, can specify which events based on the following metadata:

  • Busy status, also known as the 'Show as' field in Outlook
  • Sensitivity, also known as the 'Private' toggle button

Beware that administrators can always overwrite these settings when necessary in the resources page of the connector.
