Hi @kannan,
Please search the documentation and the forum or the internet before starting a new discussion.
By default you can create rooms hidden (roomOptions.IsVisible = false) and let Photon Server assign a GUID as room name (or GameId) that you can share with friends via Photon Chat, social networks or any other mean (third party service or your own custom service). Friends can then join the room by name using PhotonNetwork.JoinRoom.
If you want to have control (format, length, etc.) over the room name (code to share), see here and here.
If the room should be joined only by specific players knowing their UserId then you could make use of ExpectedUsers (Slots Reservation). If not, you can try to kick unwanted players from Master Client using PhotonNetwork.CloseConnection. Otherwise you would need a custom server plugin or custom server side logic. Both options are not available on the public cloud.
