Optix uses Microsoft Exchange Web Services (EWS) to connect to your on-premise or cloud hosted Exchange server. You'll need to ask a server administrator to perform a few tasks in order for Optix to access & sync your calendars.
Create a new user account on your Exchange server for Optix to authenticate as - we recommend something like optix@yourdomain.com
Make sure that this account has access to the meeting room mailboxes you wish to use within Optix
Give this user the "Application Impersonation" role within Exchange - This is a special role that allows connected applications to manage and "impersonate" multiple mailboxes with a single login. Without this role, Optix will not be able to update your Exchange calendars.
Save this user account login details as they will be needed in the next step.
