Microsoft 365 - Create, edit, or delete a Resource Account

In Microsoft 365, "resources" (e.g., meeting/conference rooms, audio-visual equipment, vacation calendars, project calendars) can be created by any domain administrator and owned (assigned as the owner of the resource) by any Microsoft 365 user/account. Once created, use Outlook on the web to configure options/settings/permissions for the resource. Domain administrators and the owner of the resource will have the ability to access/manage the following actions within Wisc Account Administration site: Edit Resource | Calendar Processing | Calendar Access.

Also, we wanted to remind you that we can help determine the best solution for setting up a resource calendar based on your departmental needs and workflows. If you are unhappy with the way your resource calendars are currently working, we may be able to help you adjust your settings in a way that will address your concerns. Please contact the DoIT Help Desk for support. Any questions or concerns that can't be addressed by the Help Desk will be escalated to the UW-Madison Microsoft 365 team.

Resources can only be created within an existing Microsoft 365 email domain. If you would like a resource but your department/group does not have an Microsoft 365 email domain, you may request that a resource be created for you in the mailplus.wisc.edu domain.
