To make rooms accessible through their Web address, you must specify the properties of the server used as the backend system in the settings for rooms. In addition, you can decide whether the system is allowed to send automatic e-mail notifications to room members and you can also limit the maximum number of users that can be invited to a room.
These settings are required after installation of the SAP NetWeaver usage type Enterprise Portal as well as in routine operations in the event of changes to your system landscape.
In the portal, choose
.Launch the roombackend configuration object for editing.
Optional: To suppress automatic sending of e-mails to room members, set the Automatically Send Mails property to No .
The default setting is Yes . You can choose Not set to ensure compatibility with rooms from earlier releases, for which you could not configure automatic sending of e-mails.
Enter the components of the Web address for rooms.

If you display the advanced options, the system displays additional properties whose values are predefined.
If you want to limit the maximum number of users that can be invited to a room, you have to specify the number in the Maximum Allowed Users property.
By default the Maximum Allowed Users property is with negative value (for example, -1 ) and in this way there is not a limitation of users that can be invited to a room.
In accordance with the example values above, users can use the following web address to enter rooms in the portal:
