Bookings Permissions Issue - RESOLVED

An IT issue which affected student user permissions meaning you cannot see any equipment, rooms or computers to book was resolved late Friday (17th) evening according to our IT colleagues. 

HOWEVER - if you still believe this issue affects you or you have any issues creating bookings the normal way, please get in touch as we need to know if the issue still persists and will need to help you to create your booking.

Apologies for the inconvenience.
