The following terms are used for the different roles people can have within a conference.
-
Participant – Any member of a conference.
-
Delegate – Any participant of a conference who is not a moderator.
-
Moderator – Moderators have extra functions. For example they can drop and mute other participants. Who is or can be a moderator depends on the conference type:
-
Ad-Hoc Conferences – Any internal participant is automatically also a moderator.
-
Personal Meet-Me Conferences – The conference owner is the only moderator.
-
System Conferences – A participant of a system conference can be become a moderator is either of 2 ways:
-
Specified internal users can be added to the conference’s moderator list. Those users are automatically moderators.
-
If the optional moderator PIN is set, any caller who enters that PIN joins the conference as a moderator. This allows external callers to be moderators (though without ability to drop/mute other participants).
-
Owner – Personal meet-me conferences are owned by the user with the same extension number as the conference ID. They are also automatically the conference’s only moderator.
