Moderator role is determined automatically in the UC environment when you join from Avaya Workplace Client. If you go to the conference portal first, the moderator role is determined based on the login status of the portal.

When you join a conference, the Place participants in a ‘waiting room’ until the moderator joins option might be selected by default. In this case, you are assigned the participant role automatically and placed in a waiting room state. To become a moderator, you must make a request and enter the moderator PIN. You can then start the conference.

As a guest moderator, you can add participants only if you have your own virtual room.
