Group managers can make reservations on behalf of the members of their groups. To enable this ability, the **Reservation on Behalf of Group Member **function group must be added to the Portal Functions of the User Group. After adding the function group, a field called **For User** appears in the **Connection Reservation** tab when the group managers log in. After completing these steps, the reservation record will appear in the **My Approvals **section, and the manager responsible for approvals will receive the approval request email. Both the search results and the email include an Approval ID number. This number can be used when searching for reservations in My Approvals, Connection Management, and Logging screens. If the manager approves, the user can connect to the device(s) with the connection username during the specified reservation times. If the manager does not approve or reject during the reservation time, expired requests are indicated on the My Approvals page by showing an **Expire** status for connection reservation requests. :::hint{type="info"} When you want to start the connection reservation process via email, the manager receives an email that includes this header: \ - Connection Reservation Approval Notification - #\ ::: :::hint{type="info"} If you want to enable Expiry Notification of connection reservations, the **aioc.connection.reservation.expiration.alert.before.values **parameter should be saved as day on the System Config Manager. Thanks to this parameter, users can submit reservation requests again to extend the connection time. ::: :::hint{type="info"} If allow\.changing.reservation.time.by.approver system parameter set as true, the approver will be able to change the reservation time (start time or end time) during approval and notify the requester of the time duration change. :::
