Roles

Your Assistant Collaboration Module users are referred to as either a Host, Presenter or Participant.

Host

• The Host user is the user who starts a conference.

• The Host has the highest rights in a conference.

• Can present any document, or share any desktop application.

• The only one that can enable the video features for the conference.

• Can promote presenters and participants.

• Can expel users from a conference.

Presenter

• A presenter can only present documents or share the presenter's desktop with other users in a conference.

• Presenters cannot expel, promote or control the video features for other users.

• A Host user will typically promote a participant to Presenter if the user is required to present in the conference.

• There are no limits to the number of Presenters allowed in a conference so care should be taken when promoting users because it could impact bandwidth and performance.

• As a general rule there should be one at least one Host and a maximum of one or two Presenters.

Participant

• A participant can only enter and view activity in a conference.

• This user class is typically assigned to most users in a given conference.
