A room is an area in a repository where access to items is restricted except to users on that room’s member list. Objects in a room are governed by that room (that is, their ACLs are determined by the room) and non-members cannot access them.

Repository users with the appropriate permissions can create and administer a room in Webtop, instead of relying on a system administrator. Room creators and room owners also manage a room’s member list.

Creation and administration of rooms are available only to WDK-based applications such as Webtop.
