Customers: these will probably be students, but could be anyone else inside or even outside the University you expect to request appointments using the calendar.Within that business, you assign one or more staff who can all accept appointments using the same calendar. Examples of a “business” might be a section of a class, a lab, a research group, or an academic department.
