Permission Levels in the Session Room

Inside of a virtual session, different roles have different accessibility levels, being able to control certain features when moderating or presenting.

When you add a presenter you have a the ability to set their permission tier. Depending on this tier, they will have a specific experience an suite of options available to them inside of the live room. Presenters can be either Producers, Admins, Presenters or Attendees.

Producer

Admins are users who have full control over the entire webinar experience. Admins in the webinar will either be users who have a certain access level in the channel, or presenters who have be given access to the admin control panel. Admins inside of the webinar have the following capabilities:

  • Has access to the Host Control Panel
  • Can record the webinar
  • Can end the webinar
  • Can enable/disable attendee list
  • Can enable/disable public chat
  • Can enable/disable Q&A and View Q&A
  • Can enable/disable ALL attendee mics/webcams
  • Can enable/disable INDIVIDUAL attendee mics/webcams
  • Can make attendees Presenters or Admins
  • Can remove attendees from the webinar
  • Can mute and/or block any mics/webcams

Admins in the webinar room can share the following:

  • Microphone
  • Webcam
  • Files (PDFs, PowerPoints, images, etc.)
  • YouTube and Mp4 Videos
  • Screensharing
  • Polls
  • Handouts
  • Offer pop-ups

If you want to give someone who is not an admin on your channel access to the Session Admin, you will set that person as an Admin. These users can log in via their presenter link and must need their own BigMarker account.

Admin

Admins will have all the same capabilities as a producer, but they will also have complete access to the session admin. Users with this level of access need their own BigMarker account in order to access the dashboard.

Presenter

Guest presenters typically do not have access to the host control panel and thus cannot control many of the settings of the webinar the attendees, or the other presenters. They are only able to share and manage their own content and the pre-loaded content in the webinar room.

The permissions for both all presenters as well as individual presenters can be customized to allow or deny any of these settings, but by default presenters are able to share and control all of the following:

  • Microphone
  • Webcam
  • Files (PDFs, PowerPoints, images, etc.)
  • YouTube and Mp4 Videos
  • Screensharing
  • Polls
  • Handouts
  • Offer pop-ups

Attendee

By default, attendees in your webinar room will not have any ability to share content, but they can interact with the engagement panel to: 

  • Answer polls
  • Download handouts
  • Click pop-up offers
  • Chat (if enabled)
  • Q&A (if enabled)
  • Mic/webcam (if enabled)

If you want to list someone as a presenter but not have them participate in the session, you can set them to enter as an attendee.

During the live session, you are able enable individual attendees' cameras or microphones. You can also host an interactive webinar and configure the settings so that attendees can share their audio and video right away.
