CHAPTER 2: ACCOUNT SETTING
2.1 INTRODUCTION
SET THE FOLLOWING ACCOUNTS IN MICROSOFT OFFICE 365:
Room accounts:
There is an email account of MEETING ROOM or RESOURCE kind designated for room scheduling in Office 365.
The IN-SESSION 7” and 12” Room Scheduler system uses the calendar of this account for arranging meetings in the particular room.
User account:
This is a typical user email account with read and write access to the calendars of rooms accounts. The IN-SESSION 7”
and 12” Room Scheduler system uses the user account for accessing the rooms calendars. That is because the original rooms accounts
cannot administer themselves.
WHEN YOU ARRANGE A MEETING THROUGH THE IN-SESSION 7” AND 12” ROOM SCHEDULER PANEL, THE SPECIFIC USER ACCOUNT
WILL BE INDICATED AS ITS ORGANIZER.
Since there is a limitation in the default setting of Office 365 to no more than 27 simultaneous accesses to room accounts at a time,
we recommend having one such account for no more than 25 rooms. You can find further information on https://msdn.microsoft.com/
en-us/library/office/jj945066(v=exchg.150).aspx. Here the maximum number of simultaneous accesses is set by EWSMaxConcurrency
parameter.
If you need to manage more rooms, either use more user accounts or change the EWSMaxConcurrency parameter in detailed
administrator settings (if allowed by your Office 365 license).
2.2 CREATING A USER ACCOUNT
To create accounts, you need to have administrator access to Office 365 settings.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS:
1. Go to https://login.microsoftonline.com and log in to your Office 365 administrator account.
