Booking permissions and private bookings

In GoBright there are several permissions related to amending and viewing bookings.

Booking permissions

Every booking has an organizer - the person who created the booking.

The organizer can always manage their own bookings by updating, stopping, extending, or deleting them.

User roles and permissions

GoBright supports different user roles, each with specific permissions that are configured by an administrator. The available roles include:

  • Regular User

  • Booking Manager

  • Manager

For more information about user roles and permissions, see the User Roles article.

What Booking Managers and Managers can do

Booking Managers and Managers can:

  • View all bookings.

  • Stop, extend, or delete any booking.

By default, they can only see the booking date and time for bookings created by other users. However, an administrator can configure which booking details these roles are allowed to view in the General Settings.

For more information, see the General Settings article.

Private bookings

When creating a booking, the organizer can mark it as Private. This ensures that the booking subject and description are only visible to the organizer and the attendees, while other users with booking management permissions will only see limited booking information according to the configured settings.

Permissions related to the room display

Authentication on the Room Display

The Room Display can be configured to allow bookings either without authentication, with authentication, or both.

When authentication is required, users must identify themselves with a PIN code or NFC card before creating a booking. This allows GoBright to register the authenticated user as the booking organizer.

If enabled by the administrator, users can also select Anonymous and proceed with creating the booking without authentication.

These settings can be configured in the Room Profile. For more information, see the Configure Room Profile article.

Managing bookings on the Room Display

The administrator can also configure who is allowed to stop, extend, or delete bookings directly from the Room Display.

If authentication is required for these actions, users must authenticate with their PIN code or NFC card before the action is performed. This ensures that only users with the appropriate permissions can manage bookings from the Room Display.

These permissions are also configured in the Room Profile.
