While this solves a number of problems, especially for larger organizations, it makes the whole process of setting up a resource mailbox much more complicated. In this guide, we’ll try to break down that process and reduce it to a simple set of easy-to-follow instructions. ### Getting Started #### From the Official website: > In addition to scheduling events in Google Calendar, Google Workspace users in your organization can book resources that people share. The most common example is a meeting room. Other examples might include projectors, company fleet cars, guest offices, recreation equipment, or any other resource people might schedule a time to use. #### Admin privileges > To manage calendar resources, you need an administrator role with calendar resource privileges. The Super Admin [pre-built role](https://support.google.com/a/answer/2405986) has calendar resource privileges. Other roles and custom roles no longer have sufficient permissions to write to a calendar. Therefore, Service Users need to have the Super Admin role in Google Workspace. --- ### Sign into your Google Workspace Admin Console Your admin console is located at: [**https://admin.google.com/**](https://admin.google.com/) ![Google sign in page for continuing to the Admin console](/blog/images/adding-a-meeting-room-resource-to-g-suite/google-admin-console-sign-in.1600.webp) ### Add a building in the Admin console In the new version of Google Workspace, each meeting room resource must belong to a building. So your first task will be to create a building for your organization. You can do this from the **Buildings Page: [https://admin.google.com/u/0/ac/calendarresources/buildings**](https://admin.google.com/u/0/ac/calendarresources/buildings) **(Apps > Google Workspace > Calendar > Resources > Manage Buildings > Add)** ![Google Admin console Add new building dialog with the name, description and floor count filled in](/blog/images/adding-a-meeting-room-resource-to-g-suite/google-admin-add-new-building.1600.webp) ### Add a Resource Calendar Next, you’ll want to add a **Resource Calendar** to your newly-created building. Head over to [**https://admin.google.com/u/0/ac/calendarresources/resources**](https://admin.google.com/u/0/ac/calendarresources/resources) and click **Add a New Resource. (Apps > Google Workspace > Calendar > Resources > Add > Add Resources)** ![Google Admin console resources list with the add new resource action highlighted](/blog/images/adding-a-meeting-room-resource-to-g-suite/google-admin-add-new-resource-menu.1600.webp) #### Add Resource Dialog: ![Google Admin console Add resource dialog creating a conference room with building, floor and capacity](/blog/images/adding-a-meeting-room-resource-to-g-suite/google-admin-add-resource-dialog.1600.webp) #### Re-open your Newly-created Resource **Congratulations!** You’ve probably just successfully added your resource. But where exactly is your **Resource Mailbox Email Address**? To find this, you’ll need to **re-open your Newly-created Resource Mailbox** ![Google Admin console resources list with the edit resource action highlighted for a board room](/blog/images/adding-a-meeting-room-resource-to-g-suite/google-admin-edit-resource-action.1600.webp) If you’ve left the page, head over to [**https://admin.google.com/u/0/ac/calendarresources/resources**](https://admin.google.com/u/0/ac/calendarresources/resources) **(Apps > Google Workspace > Calendar > Resources)** From there, you’ll be able to select and copy your resource mailbox email address. You’ll need this to configure your Meeting Room display. ![Google Admin console Edit resource dialog with the generated resource calendar email address highlighted](/blog/images/adding-a-meeting-room-resource-to-g-suite/google-admin-resource-email-address.1600.webp) ### That’s it!
