Once a Full Access Mailbox has been converted to a resource mailbox, the owner may assign permissions to other users with the following steps:
1. In Outlook, click on Calendar in the left-hand Navigation pane.
2. Open the shared calendar:
Outlook 2010: Click on the Open Calendar menu and select "Open Shared Calendar"
3. Enter the name of the resource mailbox or click the Name button to browse for the mailbox.
4. Click OK.
5. Right-click on the resource calendar in the Navigation pane.
6. Click Properties.
7. Click on the Permissions tab.
8. Click the Add button to add permissions for a user.
9. Select the user and click the Add button.
10. With the newly added user highlighted, select the permissions for that user in the "Permissions" section.
11. Repeat steps 8 through 10 for each user that needs to have permissions granted for the resource room. You may also define the permissions for the "Default" user, which will be the default permissions for any user that is not directly added to the permissions panel.
12. Click the OK button when you are finished.
Users may now access the resource mailbox as per the permissions provided to them.
