You may wish to control the reservation of some important and rare resources and require such reservations to be **confirmed by a responsible delegate**. 

This reservation method is supported by Microsoft 365 and Exchange. It works as follows.

- Someone makes a resource reservation.
- The reservation is created in the calendar and marked as **Tentative**.
- The responsible delegate gets a message about the reservation. He can then confirm or decline it.
- If the delegate confirms the reservation, the status of the reservation changes to **Accepted**. Otherwise, the reservation is **declined **and removed from the calendar.
- The person who requested the reservation is informed of the resource reservation status by a message.

> ℹ️ The CUE reservation system is compatible with this workflow.
