# Exclusive resource access

> Restrict specific resources so only specific eligible members can see or book them

Use exclusive access to:

* Grant access to specialized facilities (e.g., a podcast studio or gym) only to customers who have completed required training.
* Offer premium resources as an exclusive perk for high-tier plans.
* Manage different resource pools for different membership levels.

## Configure exclusive access to resources

Setting up exclusive access is a two-step process: first, you define the resource's restrictions, and then you grant access to specific customers or plans.

1. Navigate to the resource settings (e.g., **Rooms**, **Desks**, or **Equipment**) and select the specific item.
2. Locate the [**Visibility**](/docs/admin/location/visibility) and [**Booking**](/docs/admin/resource-management/resources/applications-for-bookings) fields to set your preferred restriction level.

3. Grant members access to the exclusive resource using one of these methods:

* Grant access to all members on certain plan(s):
  * [Edit the plan](/docs/admin/billing/plans/set-up-plans#edit-or-delete-a-plan) or resource tier and select this resource in the **Exclusive access** section > **Resources** field.
  * All customers who subscribe to this plan will automatically receive access.
* Grant access to individual members:
  * [Edit the customer's subscription](/docs/admin/billing/subscriptions/edit-a-subscription) > open a subscription item.
  * Select this resource in the **Exclusive access** section > **Resources** field.
  * Use this option when access is based on personal qualifications rather than plan level.

## How users interact with exclusive resources

Once configured, the availability of the resource updates automatically based on the customer's status.

* Customers get access to see or book exclusive resources as soon as they subscribe to a designated plan or an administrator updates their subscription.
* Customers without the required access level will either be unable to see the resource or prevented from making a booking.
