Correct. For the resource account this is done automatically. That is  
the main difference between a resource and a standard user account.

Yes.

No. This happens automatically once you send the first invitation to  
this account.

If an employee should be able to manage and edit events that have are  
present in a resource account then you need to provide the employee  
with access to the calendar folder of the resource. You can do that  
via cyradm but you can usually use any client that supports ACL. You  
could for example use the web client to log into the resource account  
and set the ACLs.

If an employee should manage a resource you can create the resource  
through the webadmin and you can give the account name and the  
password to the employee so that he may login to that account to  
manage the folder rights. If you want to enable users to create new  
resources they would need to do that in the web admin. You would have  
to provide them with a maintainer or domain-maintainer account though.

Cheers,

Gunnar
