This Domino account will be used to access the Free/Busy data for all Notes users along with Rooms and Resources. The account does require access to read Free/Busy information. This may require updates for Domino accounts or rooms with restrictions that prevent the default Free/Busy access. Quest recommends removing restrictions to Domino Free/Busy data where possible during migrations.
