In GoBright, you can already book a desk / parking space on behalf of a colleague. 

However, since July 2025, you can now do the same for rooms within the GoBright portal. This was previously  only available via Outlook. There is now an all-in-one solution within the GoBright portal.

✔ Fully integrated within the portal

✔ Free

✔ Don't need to leave Teams or switch between apps (if you have the add-on)

The Steps

  1. On the main dashboard (Meet-Work-Visit), head to Settings > Users > Roles.
  2. Scroll down until you see Other booking-related permissions.
  3. By default, this setting is disabled, so enable it:
  4. Make sure you save the changes at the top of the page. If you have multiple roles, carry out the above for the relevant role(s).
  5. Using the 4 squares in the top right, head to the Admin Centre.
  6. The user(s) account(s) will need to have the above role enabled for their account. 
    1. Select the user.
    2. Scoll down to Meet-Work-Visit and then Roles. On the drop-down, ensure the role(s) you updated above are selected for the relevant user(s). 
  7. Now that the role(s) has been updated, we can book the room on behalf of a colleague. The example below shows that I booked a meeting room for my colleague Alex.
  8. This is then put in Alex's calendar with the above information.
