Only IT staff can create Group Bookings.
- Group Bookings will be created with a descriptive name you provide that represents the service being provided or Team/Group the Bookings will represent with 'Bookings' appended to it.
- Group Bookings will be configured so that appointment replies go to the shared mailbox that represents the Bookings instance. You can attach to that mailbox the same way you would a Shared Mailbox.
