How to Assign Roles to a Community Member

Learn how to assign admin or moderator privileges to a community member

Assigning admin or moderator privileges gives certain members special permissions to help manage the community.

  1. Admin: Has full control over the community, including managing settings, members, content, and other moderators.

  2. Moderator: Helps manage the community by:

  • Approving membership requests and posts,

  • Create and Manage Events

  • Create and Manage Scheduled content

  • Create and Manage Library content

  • Create and Manage Workflows

  • Create and Manage Landing Pages

  • Manage courses or channels assigned to them,
    but typically has fewer permissions than an admin.

Note: When you assign a member the role of a moderator, by default, they will have the following permissions:

  • View member details

  • Approve members & Posts

Assigning Members Privileges

Step 1: Click on the Admin Panel button

Step 2: Click on the Settings & Data and select the Teammates menu to open the teammate’s dashboard.

The teammate dashboard has two tabs:

  • Teammates

  • Custom Labels

Teammates Tab

Here, you'll find an option to add community members as teammates, along with a list of all current teammates. The custom role labels will be displayed as badges on their profiles, making it easy for others to see their assigned custom roles within the community.

The role defines a member’s permissions as an owner, admin, or moderator, determining their level of access and responsibilities within the community.

Adding a Member as a Teammate

Step 1: Click on the Add Teammates button.


Step 2: A pop-up will open. Select/search for a member from the dropdown list.

Step 3: After selecting the member, choose the role you’d want to assign to them.


Step 4: You will have the option of assigning a custom role label for the teammate from the dropdown list.


Or you can create your own custom role label name by clicking on the option to Add Custom Label Name or searching for the name from the dropdown


Step 5: You can type in your custom label. The custom label will appear as a badge right of the member’s name on the member’s profile on places like the channel posts, or the people’s page.

Step 6: When you select the role of moderator, you will have extra configurations to set.

1. Assign specific channels for moderators to manage and access. You can select which channels they oversee, and their permitted actions will include:

  • Editing channel details

  • Adding and viewing members in the channel

  • Assigning the channel to a category

2. Assign specific courses for moderators to manage and access. You can select the courses that they oversee, and their permitted actions will include:

  • Editing course details

  • Add & remove course lessons

  • View course enrollment records and student progress reports

  • Assigning the course to a category

  • Configure and Set Drip

  • Add pricing for the course

  • Publishing/deleting/duplicating the course lesson and sections


Note: Moderators will only have access to these specific actions for courses and channels, and no additional actions.

Step 7: When granted the following permissions, moderators will have unrestricted access, enabling them to perform all admin-level actions across community events, scheduled content, library content, workflows, and landing pages.

  • Create & manage events

  • Create & manage schedule

  • Create & manage library content

  • Create & manage workflows

  • Create & manage landing pages


Step 8: Click the Save Changes button to update the changes.


Step 9: You can remove or edit the privileges of an existing teammate by clicking the three-dot option.

This tab will show the table list of all the custom role labels you have created

You'll also have the option to create a custom role label, which can be assigned to teammates as needed.

Step 1: Click the Create Label button


Step 2: In the pop-up, enter the name and click Save.


Step 3: You can edit or delete a custom role label by clicking the three-dot menu in the column.
