Hide details for a shared calendar

I

Ian McGuinness

I have 3 shared calendars for our 3 meeting rooms. The calendars are
currently shared with a default access level or Author. My users can book a
room by adding the room as a resource. They can also view the shared
calendar to look for available time.
How can i hide the subject and details of a booking to everyone except the
owner? I would like the shared calendars to still show when a booking exists
but i don't want them to be able to read the details. If they could see the
name of the owner then that would be a bonus.
We are useing Outlook 2003 and Exchange 2003.
Thanks
Ian

Thanks for the reply,
If I set them to None, will they still be able to book a room and see when
the rooms are free or busy?

Hi,
I tested on one of my rooms this morning and i was then unable to book a
room as a resource. I was also unable to see busy markers when viewing the
calendar as one of my Other Calendars. Any other ideas?
Thanks
Ian

They'll see only the colored squares for busy etc; since they are inviting
the calendar, it shouldn't affect booking. Test it with one account to
verify.

You're using direct booking? In that case, you can't hide details for
anyone who needs to open the calendar to create meetings.

You would need to change Author permission to None.

FWIW, Outlook 2007/Exchange 2007 offer more free/busy options.

Oh ok, I was just following a "how to" that i found online.
Is there a better way that i should manage my rooms? I'm running Exchange
2003 and outlook 2003 and am open to adding tools or scripts if needed.
