No event would be complete without users! Here you can discover everything you will need to know about users in the platform.
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.
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.
Please read through the different user types and their purpose:
Attendees - Read further
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 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) unless they have the permission to do so.
Speakers and Moderators - Read further
Speakers are users who are connected to a session as a speaker.
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 for example,with a presentation and polls, or to test their audio and video. Additionally, moderatorsmay 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.
Exhibitors - Read further
Exhibitors are users who are connected to an Exhibitor booth.
When a users is connected to an exhibitor booth they will automatically recieve the tag Exhibitor and will be able to edit the details of their own booth.
Important: If the Exhibitor Portal (please read carefully for more info!) is enabled, there are two exhibitor types: 1. exhibitors and 2. users belonging to the exhibitor crew. Both do receive the Exhibitor tag.
Organisers - Read further
There are two types of organiser that you can set in the Admin panel:
1) Organisation / Admin
Users who have Admin access to both the Admin panel and platform/app without restriction.
2) Organisation / Host
Users who do not have acess to the Admin panel but do have Admin rights within the platform/app.
Organizers have all rights applicable to any of the below user types in all sessions, booths or anywhere else on the platform/app. Meaning, they can enter the event platform before it is officially opening, enter webinar rooms earlier, change exhibitor booths, etc.
