First off, kudos to you for making users
reserve from their Calendars and not directly in the R&R dB. That
is something not everyone does even though it benefits everyone.
As Rodrigo already said they can view
things in the R&R dB without any issues. If you want to allow
them to only see what is there then make sure the ACL settings for them
are basically Reader and not higher. If you have anything set to
use a room owner then make sure you do not accidentally lower the room
owner access such that they cannot process requests.
There is another way to get the same
info from inside the users mail files. Look at the often forgotten
but highly useful Group Calendar that is built into the mail template.
That gem of a feature is a great way to get a custom 'overview' of
the availability of any users, rooms or resource (in any combination) in
1 simple screen:
Users can put any room or resource into
the Group Calendar as a member and then easily see the availability. Setting
this up is very quick. From a users Calendar:
1: Click More -> Create
Group Calendars... in the action bar (or scroll the left sidebar down
and click Create Group Calendars... under the Group Calendars heading)
2. Click New Group Calendar.
3. Type a group name in the Title
field (e.g. Treadmills).
4. Enter the names of people, groups,
rooms and resources you want to see the schedule for in the Members
field. To select names from a directory, click the arrow icon next
to the Members field.
5. Click OK.
If you want to be nice to your users,
you can email them a button that will create one for them. You can
mail it to them and they have the option to click the button and be all
set or they can do it manually themselves.
To view the Group Calendar the users
simply scroll the left hand panel of their Calendar down to the section
marked Group Calendars and click on the name of the group calendar to view.
It will open and display the busytime data for each member.
I hope this helped. If you have
any questions just ask.
