# Book a room that needs approval

> Book a room that an approver must confirm in PADS4 Workspace, follow the pending status, and learn what the approver does.

Some rooms need approval. You book the room as usual, but the booking is not final until an approver confirms it. Until then, the booking has the status *pending*.

## Roles

| Role | Description |
| - | - |
| **Requester** | The person who books the room. |
| **Approver** | The person who is responsible for approving bookings of the room. |

## Before you begin

Your administrator turns on approval for a room, and decides who approves. See [Rooms](https://docs.pads4.com/modules/workspace/workspace-admin/adding-room.md).

## Book a room that needs approval

**1. Start the booking**

Select the room, and then select the **+** button.

**2. Enter the details and save**

Enter the booking details, and select **Save**. See [Book a space](https://docs.pads4.com/modules/workspace/book-a-space.md).

**3. Wait for the approval**

You receive an email that says your booking is awaiting approval. The booking appears as **Pending** in your calendar.

**4. Receive the result**

When the approver confirms the booking, you receive an email that says the booking is approved.

## Approve a booking

If you are an approver, you receive an email when someone requests a booking. Review the request, and validate it to confirm the meeting.
