We are running outlook 2003 with exchange 2003. We have serveral conference
rooms set up to be resources. When I try to add our manager distribution
list with the Author permission, I get an error that the changes could not be
saved.
Do I have to add each individual person seperately? I dont want to give
anon users that permission because we only want managers and above to be able
to book resources.
Can someone please help
 
Sounds like the Manager distribution list is not set up as a security group,
which is what you need to use to set permissions.
 
Do I need to have the managers group set up as a mail distribution list as
well as a security group. When I try to add anyone, it pulls from out
address book which is linked up to AD.
 
To set permissions you need a security group. You'd need a distribution list
only if you plan to send mail to it.

UGHHHHHHHH! I created the security group for the managers and added in all
their account.
I granted the manager group Author permission to the calander as well as
made them delegates. They still cant book the room as a resource. I had
someone log out and log back in and still they are getting an error that they
dont have permission.

I know this should not make a diffence but Default and Anon users are set
for reviewer.

Please Help
 
Did you wait long enough for the permission to propagate? It can take a
couple of hours.

Can you tell me if hiding the security group from the exchange address books
makes a difference. I had one person test it who was having an issue, and it
worked fine. (after waiting for several hrs for the permissions to
propagate). Now someone else in the group is getting the same permissions
denied error. The only difference is that I hid the security group from the
exchange address list.
 
I'm not sure. I don't think it would make a difference. If it's a security
group and
isn't email-enabled, it shouldn't appear in the GAL anyway.

Sue,
Thanks for you help, but it appears that the only way I give someone
permissions to a shared calander is to pull them from the GAL. Unless you
know another way, the security group need to be mail enabled and it CANNOT be
hidden from the address book.
So now I actually have two mail mail enabled managers group.
