  • What meeting information will be visible on the resource's calendar.
  • The response message that meeting organizers will receive.

Before You Begin

To perform this procedure, you must be assigned, either directly or using a universal security group, one of the following management roles:

  • Organization Management
  • Organization Management - Tenant
  • Recipient Management
  • Recipient Management - Tenant
