I want to set up Bookings but I get a message that states that I need to ask my administrator. I do not have one. I am a sole propriator

Dear @Jimmy Hinton,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum. I understand you are trying to set up Microsoft Bookings, but you keep seeing a message saying you need to “ask your administrator”. You mentioned you are a sole proprietor and the only employee in your organization, so you expect to be able to add Bookings to your calendar without any administrator involved.

To better assistance, could you please confirm following information:

1. Are you signing in with a business/work email (example: ******@yourcompany.com) or a personal Microsoft account (Outlook.com/Hotmail.com)?
2. What Microsoft 365 plan are you using (Business Basic, Business Standard, Business Premium, etc.)?
3. When you go to https://admin.microsoft.com, can you access the admin center?
4. Does your account show the Global Administrator role assigned?
5. Are you trying to open Bookings from office.com or directly inside Outlook?
6. Do you see any license or permission warnings in your Microsoft 365 admin center?
7. Did someone else originally set up your Microsoft 365 subscription?
8. Are you using more than one Microsoft account on the same device?

Your detailed response will help us diagnose and investigate the issue more efficiently.

I truly appreciate your patience and understanding. If I misunderstood what you’re looking for, feel free to let me know or share a screenshot. I’d be happy to help further!

I'm looking forward for your reply. Thank you for your cooperation.

If you are receiving a message stating that you need to contact your administrator to access Microsoft Bookings, it is likely because your Microsoft 365 subscription does not have Bookings enabled or it is not available for your account type. As a sole proprietor, you may not have an administrator, but you can manage your own settings.

To resolve this, you should ensure that your Microsoft 365 subscription includes Bookings. Bookings is available with certain Microsoft 365 subscriptions, such as Business Basic, Business Standard, and Business Premium. If your subscription supports Bookings, you may need to enable it in the Microsoft 365 admin center.

If you do not have access to the admin center or are unsure about your subscription, you may need to contact Microsoft support for further assistance. They can help you verify your subscription and guide you on how to enable Bookings if it is available to you.
