Setting Up Room Access for EMS Users

Add an everyday user to specific spaces within the EMS.

In order for a user or or Everyday User of the EMS website to view workspaces available for reservation, the Everyday User will need to be added to both a "Process Template" and "Group" within the EMS desktop client. Review the EMS Administrative Terms document to review details about these terms. 

Follow these steps to assign an Everyday User to a Process Template and Group: 

  • To add a Process Template and/or Group for an Everyday user, note their:
    • NetID
