# Manage rooms

Many congregations and churches have their own rooms or houses that can be used for congregational work. Regardless of whether one room or 50 are available: it is annoying when rooms are used twice. ChurchTools supports you here with the resources module. This allows you to keep track of who has booked/reserved what and when.

## Create and request rooms

ChurchTools allows you to organize and manage rooms. The resources module makes it easy for you to create rooms and make them available to different groups of people for booking.

1. Create all rooms in the master data[(Help](https://staging.churchtools.academy/en/help/churchtools-modules/resources/overview-of-resources/), [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2o75D_jNACY&list=PLKkd9_EOcMn2nhaNkHN5ZDRD2A3MEKLeF&index=9)).
2. Assign permissions according to who is allowed to view and book which room[(YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhylDYtWTY0&list=PLKkd9_EOcMn2nhaNkHN5ZDRD2A3MEKLeF&index=4&t=380s)).
3. Book rooms for recurring appointments directly in the calendar.

**Tip**

You can also use the resources module to manage items such as projectors, vehicles or technical equipment.
