# Room Manager Guide

### Overview

As a Room Manager, you can create branded spaces, connect Master accounts, and distribute seat capacity to your community.

### 1. Creating and Branding a Room

1. In your Traders Connect dashboard, navigate to the **Rooms** section on the left-hand menu.
2. Depending on whether you already have a room set up:
    * **To set up your first (or an additional) room:** Click **New Room**. Review the subscription details ($100/month, which includes your first 5 seats) and complete the checkout.
    * **To manage an existing room:** Click **Open Room** to launch the Rooms portal (`rooms.tradersconnect.com`).
3. Once inside the Rooms portal, open your room settings to configure your **Room Identity**:
    * **Room Name:** Choose a name for your community.
    * **Custom Logo:** Upload your brand assets.
    * **Branding Toggle:** Choose whether or not to display the "Powered by Traders Connect" badge.

### 2. Room Pricing & Seat Capacity

* **Base Subscription:** A Room subscription costs **$100 per month** (billed monthly).

* **Included Seats:** Each Room subscription includes a base capacity of **5 seats** (5 account connections).

* **Multiple Rooms:** You can create and run additional independent Rooms, each with its own $100/month subscription.

### 3. Allocating and Upgrading Seats

Your Room seat capacity is directly linked to your overall Traders Connect account subscription balance:

* **Allocating Seats:** In the Room settings under the **Seat Allotment** tab, you can assign available account slots (Standard, Futures, or Premium) from your general balance to the Room.

* **Upgrading Capacity:** If you need more than 5 seats, navigate to the **Billing** page on the main Traders Connect dashboard, increase your account limit, and assign the newly added seats to your Room under **Seat Allotment**.

* **Dedicated Environments:** If you subscribe to a Dedicated Environment, you can assign it to specific members under Seat Allotment so their trades execute via a private dedicated IP address.

### 4. Inviting Members

1. Go to the **Members** tab inside your Room.
2. Click the **Invite Member** button in the top right.
3. Enter the user's **Traders Connect registered email address**.
4. Select their role (**Viewer**, **Copier**, or **Manager**).
5. Allocate how many seats they are granted, then send the invite.
6. Track pending and active members from the same screen. You can adjust allocated seats or revoke access at any time.
