# Introduction

Rooms are used to share a portion of the playlist to a "guest" user.

**Typical case:**

An LED display in a store located in another town is managed by the headquarters. However, the store manager needs to manage a portion of the overall playlist to insert special promotions that apply only to that specific store.

This is where the <span class="s1">**Room**</span> function comes into play: it creates a virtual, restricted space in which the store manager can manage only the assigned portion of the playlist.

Headquarters can also apply a number of restrictions to the Room to limit or control its use.
