Shared calendar for leave booking

[ask]

I want to use Outlook Web Access public folder shared calendar for booking
annual leave, etc. I can set permissions for each one to edit their own
inputs in the shared calendar. But how do I enable one person (the rota
maker) to authorise the leave, show it in the calendar as authorised/granted
(bold text, different colour text etc) and also make it read only to all
others once authorised?

Thanks for any help.

You are talking about creating a workflow. See;

Another way of doing this a bit more "dirty" is to have them send a meeting
request instead to that calendar. Then the owner can accept/reject it.

Thank you Roady.

How will the accept/reject show on the main calendar page?

When a calendar item has been rejected, the sender will receive a
notification of it (default).
When it has been accepted, it will show in the Calendar folder.
When no action has been taken yet, it will show up as Tentative.
