# Assign resources to map

Prior to being able to access real-time occupancy information and enable users to reserve resources via the map view, you must first allocate resources to areas of the map.

To create resources, check out this [guide](https://support.meetuma.ai/uma-knowledgebase/getting-started/set-up-your-organisation/add-resources).

Navigate to your floor map and click on **edit map**.

{% hint style="info" %}
Only an admin can assign resources to a map.
{% endhint %}

Select a region on the map to allocate a resource and select the resource from the drop down on the left hand menu.

Switch off the map editing mode, then you can either hover over or click on the resource to access additional information or book the space.
