What are moderators?

Unlike a creator channel that is run by a creator alone, an open channel allows the channel owner who created the channel to appoint trusted managers, build a team of moderators, and manage the channel together.

Managers act as partners who help the channel owner ensure that content is managed smoothly. Specifically, they help maintain the atmosphere of the channel by canceling the publication of inappropriate posts, removing and blocking users who break channel rules, and more. The permissions of channel owners and managers are as follows:

  • Channel owner

    • Channel management tasks such as canceling post publication, blocking users, and removing users
    • Changing channel information such as channel rules and participation methods
    • Granting and removing manager permissions

  • Manager

    • Channel management tasks such as canceling post publication, blocking users, and removing users
    • Cannot change channel settings (cannot access [Studio] > [Settings])

Granting or removing manager permissions

Only the channel owner can grant or remove manager permissions. Note that managers cannot grant permissions to other Contributors or revoke permissions from already appointed managers.

  • Path: [open channel] > [Studio] > [Participation]

  • Appoint a manager

    • In the Contributors tab, click the more icon (…) for the user you want to appoint as a manager.
    • Select “Appoint as manager” from the menu, and that Contributor will immediately be appointed as part of the moderators (manager).

  • Remove (dismiss) manager permissions

    • As when appointing, click the more icon (…) for the relevant user.
    • Select “Remove moderator permissions” and that manager will be changed back to a regular Contributor.
