About group types for meeting spaces


There are three group types for meeting spaces:

  • Managed group: Users search for a meeting space to suit their requirements and submit a request to book it. The request is approved or rejected by an administrator.
  • Allocated group (blind managed): Users cannot choose specific meeting spaces. The user enters their requirements on a booking form and submits a request for a meeting space. The administrator allocates a meeting space based on their requirements.
  • Self-managed group: Users search for a meeting space to suit their requirements and book it directly. Meeting spaces in a self-managed group are bookable on a first-come-first-served basis and no approval is required.

The group type can only be configured after a group has been created and saved. Learn moreHow to create a group
