Your administrator can also limit the pool of users from which you and other chat room managers can select members. Important: The Skype for Business administrator can lock most settings of a given room category, which prevents you and other chat room managers from changing the settings. Only the categories that are available to you as a room manager are listed. On the Create a room page, in the Category section, choose the category whose settings and membership pool you want to use. If the scope is set to Sales, only groups and users in the Sales distribution list can be added as members. If the administrator sets the scope of a room category to, for example, any group or user at Contoso can be added as a member of the rooms in that category.
The scope of a particular category identifies all the users and groups that can be members of a chat room in the original category. After this list is set up, the administrator might create subcategories in a chat room category based on organizational needs. When persistent chat is first installed, your Skype for Business administrator creates a list of potential chat room participants. The room-category concept affects room membership as well as settings. All rooms that participate in that room category would inherit those characteristics. Each room category also might have distinct policies about records retention and a required privacy setting. A real estate firm, for example, might find it useful to set up a category of rooms specifically for the sales team, another category for the legal department, and another for the executive team.
