# Creating Resources

To create and modify resources and resource groups, you must be an Admin user, or you must have the [Can manage resources](/learn/staff-member-permissions/) permission enabled in **Staff Member** settings. This permission is not required to add resource requirements in **Service** settings.

To create a resource, open the** Resources** app. Add a new resource group or select an existing resource group.

Select **Add Resource** to add a resource to the group.

Resource groups are **not** location-specific. They are available across all your locations. Resources **are** location-specific. They will only be available for the location where they were created.

Specify how many appointments can use this resource at the same time.

- **One appointment at a time:** Most common option. Select this option if only one appointment at a time can be assigned to this resource.

- **Specific number of appointments:** Select this option to specify a capacity for this resource.

- **No limit of appointments:** Select this option if this resource does not have a capacity limit and can be assigned to unlimited appointments at the same time. Select this option if the resource will only be used to manage the day/time that a service can be booked.

Select the **Schedule** tab and specify the resource’s availability.

- **Always available:** Most common option. Select this option if this resource is always available.

- **Only available on specific days/times:** Select this option if this resource can only be booked on specific days or during specific times. Learn how to use this option to [manage service availability](/learn/using-resources-to-manage-service-availability/).

Once the resource is created, [add it as a requirement to the services that use it](/learn/adding-resource-requirements-to-services/).

Once resources are added as requirements for services or [service customizations](/learn/help-articles/services/service-customizations/), you can select the **Services** tab to see the assigned services and service customizations.
