2 Booking System Preparation
This chapter describeswhat needs to be done in your booking system before installingEvoko Home.
2.1 Microsoft Office 365 / Exchange configuration
2.1.1 SetupImpersonationvia Office 365 / Exchange
Having impersonation set up on Office 365 is a crucial step for making it work with Evoko Home.
Impersonation allows an account to have privileges of impersonating another account within Exchange.
This means that a certain account can create and accept calendar invitations and mails on behalf of
another account. Since that account will have extended permissionsand make bookings on behalf of both
rooms and users we strongly recommend that you set up and use a separate account only for this
purpose. When configuring theseoptions,you need to be logged in withadministratorprivileges.
1. At the Office 365 Portal home page click the Admin icon in order to navigate to the Office 365
administrator section.
2. Then navigate to the Admin centers icon at the bottom of the left hand side menu and click on
Exchange.

the permissions list at the center,look for a permission called “Application Impersonation”.
If you can find that permission in thelist,then click on it and look for themembers section in the
right hand side panel. The Exchange/Office administrator account should be listed under the
members section. This means that the administratoraccounthas the “Application Impersonation”
role assigned toit.
In case you cannot find the “Application Impersonation” permission in the permissions list then
you need to create it.
Press the plus icon at the top of the permission list table. A new form window should pop up with
several empty fields.
