# Users

5 main types of users can be created including: 

* **Organizers**
* **Attendees**
* **Exhibitors**
* **Speakers** 
* **Moderators**

Creating different user types allows you to manage various aspects of what a user can do in the platform and/or app and how they appear. 

{% hint style="info" %}
**Pro-tip:** Check how the app/platform appaears for a specific user? Open the app/platform via the personal QR or person login button for that user in the admin panel user overview.
{% endhint %}

An attendee is a user who is attending the event (mostly without any special rights in contrast to the other user types, listed here). Attendees are given general access to the platform/app.

Attendees may roam the event platform/app freely or can be [restricted ](https://knowledge-base.letsgetdigital.com/the-admin-panel/content/virtual-platform/programme/personal-programme/user-tag-permissions)from entering specific virtual sessions depending on the configuration of the admin panel. Attendees are spectators in a webinar session (virtual platform) and cannot activate their audio and camera (excluding [breakout rooms](https://knowledge-base.letsgetdigital.com/the-admin-panel/content/virtual-platform/programme/speakers/breakout-rooms)) unless they have[ the permission](https://knowledge-base.letsgetdigital.com/the-admin-panel/content/virtual-platform/programme/speakers/participant-overview#action-buttons) to do so.

Speakers are users who are connected to a session as a speaker.&#x20;

When a user is connected to a session he/she will automatically receive the tag ***speaker*** and if applicable and given access, will be able to prepare their personal [**webinar room**](https://knowledge-base.letsgetdigital.com/the-admin-panel/content/virtual-platform/programme/speakers) for example,with a [presentation ](https://knowledge-base.letsgetdigital.com/the-admin-panel/content/virtual-platform/programme/speakers/content-library)and [polls](https://knowledge-base.letsgetdigital.com/the-admin-panel/content/virtual-platform/programme/coming-soon-polls-in-sessions-vp), or to test their audio and video. Additionally, [**moderators** ](https://knowledge-base.letsgetdigital.com/the-admin-panel/users/virtual-platform/untitled-1/speakers#moderators)may be connected to sessions; although they are not classified as a speaker within the platform/app, moderators do obtain the exact same rights as speakers for the session(s) they are connected to!

**The only difference between speakers and moderators lies in the dipiction/presentation on the platform/in the app!**

Speakers/moderators cannot however pre enter sessions they are not speakers at. Within those, other sessions (linked to another speaker), they are being treated as regular attendees without speaker rights.&#x20;
