## Attributes

## Room shares

Rooms default to be limited to the assembly they are created for. However additional "room shares" allow for sharing rooms:

- with selected other assemblies,

- all assemblies or

- self organized sessions

A new room share can only be created via `/c3admin` currently. A new "Room Share" entry will alow to specify:

- which room should be shared,

- if the share is enabled,

- whom the room should be shared with and

- an optional timeframe to limit the share to (format `YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS`).

## Room reservation

Rooms are automatically reserved/occupied once an event is linked to the room. There can not be any overlapping events in a room.
