Why the standard management of
Microsoft 365 resources isn't enough
Microsoft 365 resources isn't enough
Resource accounts are stored within Microsoft Exchange. In order for a user to create or manage any resources within Microsoft 365, special permissions need to be assigned. Documentation here.
arboo creates an abstraction layer between the management of resources and the hard permission requirements of the Microsoft 365 environment. An Microsoft 365 / Azure administrator creates an arboo location with responsibles, who then are able to create and maintain resources for that location.
Exchange accounts are still created behind the curtains, but the responsibles persons use user friedly forms for their management process and need no technological background at all. Hence arboo also offers:
Double Booking Protection
Booking Approvals
Email Confirmation
