LO45781: IBM P2: ER: R&R ENTRIES USERS DO NOT HAVE "ACCESS" TO SHOULD NOT BE VISIBLE TO THEM.

APAR status

• Closed as unreproducible.

Error description

• At least three internal IBM deployments and 1 customer have
  asked for the
  ability to filter the list of rooms/resources that users can see
  such that
  rooms they definitely do not have access to.  That way users do
  not see items
  they have no ability to reserve.
  It means only those who are part of Mail Server Developers will
  be able to reserve
  the room.  All others can still see it in the C&S form for
  finding/picking
  rooms but unless they are members of that group (in this case)
  they will not be
  able to reserve the room even if it is available.  They should
  not even be
  given the choice of the room since it will never be accepted.
  This can lead to
  user frustration and annoyance which in turn can lead to users
  misperceiving
  that the "system is broken" which is never good.
  
  If the client were to get and check the owner restrictions
  before presenting
  the list to users in any of the room selections/pickers then
  that would greatly
  help.  It would not prohibit users from manually entering room
  names but that
  also requires user knowledge of the rooms existence (and the
  RnRMgr will still
  reject the request even if they try to "end run" the template).
  

Local fix

• One possible workaround: Modify the NAB to make the owner
  restriction lists
  into a Readers list on the R&R doc.  This could cause some
  issues in general
  where Admins can no longer see the entries in their NAB even
  when they are not
  doing C&S.
