6.2 Create Room Accounts in Mailbox Server
The Evoko Room Manager is designed to work with both standard user accounts and the
newer resource accounts.
We recommend using a resource account, but it requires careful configuration.
N.B.! You need to have one user or resource account in your server for every Evoko Room
Manager that you will use. Please make sure that this is done before you continue.
If you already have a set of accounts available for booking, please read these instructions
anyway to see if you need to make any adjustment to make your current room accounts
compatible with the Evoko Room Manager.
6.3 Account definitions
Regular user: A standard user in server with its own credentials that can be used to access
the account. A room configured as a Regular user will behave exactly like a normal user
account for real users.
Resource user: A special account type introduced for meeting rooms and equipment that
does not require a separate license and is tailored to manage rooms and equipment.
Resource user accounts don’t have any passwords and cannot exist on their own as they
need to have one or more Resource administrators to access the account.
N.B.! Resource users are same as Room Mailbox in the MS Exchange 2007 graphical user
creation interface.
Resource administrator: A Resource administrator is any user in the system provided with
full access to the Resource user account. As the Resource user lack credentials of their
own, accessing the account of a Resource user requires the user name and password of
the Resource administrator.
