### Create a category

* Click on **Add** to create a new category.
* Search for a [category in the list](https://help.qomeet.com/en/article/list-of-participant-categories-for-the-organization-1vivyyo/) or create a new one.
* Enter the authorized accreditation zones, the [pass template](https://help.qomeet.com/en/article/assign-a-pass-template-to-a-participant-category-2p0uom/) to be applied and select the [registration form](https://help.qomeet.com/en/article/registration-forms-56ov8q/) associated with that category.

### Assign zones and services to a participant category


The authorized zones for a participant category are defined in the corresponding settings. Go to **Registrations > Categories** and click on the desired category to define its authorized zones. You can also configure access for each category using the **Access Matrix**.

Each participant has access to the authorized zones of their category, but it is also possible to adjust the access of a specific person from their [participant sheet](https://help.qomeet.com/en/article/manage-participants-and-process-accreditation-requests-14ck41y/#3-assign-accreditation-zones-to-a-participant).

To assign [meals](https://help.qomeet.com/en/article/meal-allocation-rules-sud55i/), material items, and parking spaces to a participant category, you will need to configure allocation rules for each service. Allocation rules are based on category tags: you can therefore assign the same tag to a group of categories and thus create rules that take into account several participant categories (for example, assign "VIP parking space" to the categories “VIP Guests” and “Officials”).

To assign a tag to a participant category, go to **Registrations > Categories** and click on the desired category.

### Categories grouped update

From your list of participant categories, you can easily make grouped updates: select the categories to be updated and click on the **Grouped update** button in the menu at the bottom of the page. You can then select the fields to be updated and specify their values.

You can modify the registration form and pass template, and add or remove tags and accreditation zones.

### Delete a category

* Click on the additional menu (3 vertical dots icon) and select **Delete**.
