Who can Book a Desk for Someone Else

SpaceIQ allows specific user roles to book a desk for someone else. This article details those users and their abilities.

Admins, Power Admins, Booking Managers, Location Admins, Department Admins, and Space Captains

  • Admins with full admin permissions can book for someone else without restriction.
  • Power Admin with full admin permissions can book for someone else without restriction.
  • Booking Managers can book for someone else without restriction (for employees and/or departments they manage.) 
  • Location Admins can book for someone else in the locations they manage.
  • Department Admins can book for someone else in the departments they manage.
  • Space Captains can book for someone else in the location and department they manage.

Employees cannot book a desk for someone else.

Let's look at this with an example...

 

SiQ Book on Behalf of Pete img.png

In this example, we have our Employee Pete, who is located in the San Francisco office.

Pete is a part of the Engineering Department and part of the Project X Workplace Group.

 

SiQ Book on Behalf of Anna img.png

And then there is Anna, who is located in London and can also be a Remote employee.

She is also a part of the Engineering Department and the Project X Workplace Group.

 

 

Pete and Anna will be a part of the following table which details how roles, location, and department can affect who can book a desk.
