Restrict access to a user group or user

This page explains how to restrict access to a user group or user to prevent them from making booking or viewing resources or locations that they shouldn’t have access to.

If you want to prevent these users from having access to resources or locations they shouldn’t have access to, you need to take some steps to ensure you don’t restrict access for everyone else.

For example, your organisation has 1 read-only user that should only have access to 1 meeting room. The administrator has to: 

  1. Add a user group for all the other users (excluding the read-only user).

  2. Restrict access to to this user group for all the other resources on the same level as the meeting room.

  3. Restrict access to all the other locations to this user group.

You’ve restricted access for all the other users that has ultimately restricted the 1 read-only user can view this 1 meeting room only. It hasn’t stopped other users accessing the locations and resources they use and book. These steps can also be applied to other user account types and other users.
