### Overview <a href="#wiki_toc_new-resource-reservation-capability" id="wiki_toc_new-resource-reservation-capability"></a>

The **Resource Reservation** feature allows administrators to efficiently manage shared resources such as conference rooms, printers, and other office assets. Administrators can add and manage resources, enable reservations, and delegate oversight responsibilities to specific admin roles.&#x20;
