Adding documents to rooms can be done by project administrators, project planning managers, and users with either 'Write' or 'Edit' permissions to a given Box folder. The document attached to a room will be visible to anyone with at least 'View' access to the folder the document is located in.

You can add a document to a room from any folder in Box.
