How it works

The M365 calendar booking integration uses Microsoft 365 Graph APIs to view, create, and edit your organizations’ calendars according to users’ actions. You can find more information about the Graph API here.

Technically all bookings made from Worksense are created by the room’s M365 account which is being booked. The room is the organizer and invites the user and possible other participants to the calendar booking.

EG Worksense has access to all calendars in your organization’s M365 account with the ‘Read and write calendars in all mailboxes’ application level permission. More information regarding the permissions can be found on Microsoft’s Graph documentation, here.

note

If you have the need to restrict the use of certain calendars, you can do that by scoping application permissions to specific exchange online mailboxes. See Microsoft instructions here.

Through Worksense users can access only those calendars that have been entered into the system.  See instruction here how the calendars are added.
