# Connected Persons

> Connect with colleagues, book on their behalf, and manage shared booking permissions.

With Connected Persons, you connect with other people in anny and grant individual permissions. This lets you book for colleagues, view their bookings, or hand your booking management to someone else.

## View connections

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your profile">
    Navigate to your **Profile** and select **Connected Persons**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the overview">
    Here you see all the people you are connected with. You can adjust existing connections or add new ones.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Add a connection

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start a new connection">
    Click **Add connection**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select a person">
    Choose a person from the list (all visible community members are shown) or enter an email address directly.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send the request">
    Click **Send connection request**. The permission management window opens.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  You can also invite people outside your community by email. The feature works independently of community memberships.
</Tip>

## Manage permissions

For each connection, there are two directions:

**Shared permissions:** Rights you give others for your bookings.

**Accessible permissions:** Rights you request for other people's bookings. New permission requests are sent by email to the other person.

| Permission                       | Description                                        |
| -------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| Read bookings                    | View the other person's bookings                   |
| Book for others (book-on-behalf) | Make bookings on behalf of the other person        |
| Edit bookings                    | Cancel or change the other person's bookings       |
| Notify about bookings            | Get a notification when the connected person books |

## Book for connected persons

You can book for others in two places:

* **In the planner:** In the list or map view, tap the selection arrow or the three dots and choose the person.
* **On the resource page:** Use the **Book for** selection and choose the connected person.

<Tip>
  Alternatively, using the paper plane icon, you can also invite people to a booking whom you are not connected with.
</Tip>

## View bookings

Under **Bookings**, at the top left under **My bookings**, you can switch between your own bookings and those of connected persons. This way you see all reservations you have read rights for.

For each booking, you can view:

* Booking option, date, and time
* Location of the resource (including a map preview)
* Details of the order
* Provider of the booking

## Quotas and booking rules

Connected Persons takes booking rules and quotas per user into account. When you book for another person, the quotas are deducted from the person the booking was made for.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="My connection request is not accepted">
    The other person has to actively confirm the request. The request is sent by email. Ask the person to check their inbox (and spam folder).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I cannot find a person in the list">
    People in incognito mode are not shown in the selection list. In that case, use the direct email invitation.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="My booking for another person shows up under my own bookings">
    In the booking overview, switch at the top left from "My bookings" to the connected person. Bookings you make for others appear under their name.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I receive notifications without booking rights?">
    Yes. You can request the "Notify about bookings" permission independently of the other rights.
