When you add a host to your channel, you can determine the level of access they have across your channel. If you want them to be able to absolutely everything, or just your webinar landing pages, you can use these permission levels to customize this to your liking. ### Managing specific permissions When you add hosts, they'll be shown in the **Subscribers** section of your [channel settings](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/what-are-my-channels-features?hsLang=en). Within this list, you can decide to turn on or off any particular setting here.  ![](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-12-2025-08-36-52-8528-PM.png?width=600&height=161&name=image-png-Jun-12-2025-08-36-52-8528-PM.png) In these settings you can customize if the host can: - Create webinars - Manage integrations in the channel settings - Manage Language Tokens - Download Reports And more. ### Different levels of access #### **Administrators** Administrators can edit all channel settings including billing, integrations, managing hosts and more. They have access to all features in the channel as well as in the webinars, sessions and events on that channel.  **Hosts** Hosts have almost the same level of access as administrators do, but do not have access to billing and the ability to save certain templates on the channel.  #### **Channel Presenters** Presenters can host, manage, create and access webinars within the Channel but do not have access to any channel-level settings. Channel presenters are not the same as Guest Presenters added to a specific webinar. Guest presenters only have access (based on their assigned privileges) to the webinar they are added to. Channel Presenters have access to all the webinars within the Channel and can create webinars. A Channel presenter must have a host license, a Guest Presenter does not.    - [Getting Started](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#main-content) - [BigMarker Basics](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#bigmarker-basics) - [Intro to presenting](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#intro-to-presenting) - [Basics of the attendee experience](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#basics-of-the-attendee-experience) - [BigMarker Troubleshooting](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#bigmarker-troubleshooting) - [Hardware and Device Troubleshooting](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#hardware-and-device-troubleshooting) - [Network and internet troubleshooting](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#network-and-internet-troubleshooting) - [Home, Channel & Profile Settings](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#home-channel-profile-settings) - [Webinars and Series](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/webinars-and-series?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Creation & Setup](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/webinars-and-series?hsLang=en#creation-setup) - [Advanced Settings](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/webinars-and-series?hsLang=en#advanced-settings) - [Surveys, Stats & Certificates](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/webinars-and-series?hsLang=en#surveys-stats-certificates) - [On-demand Webinars & Video](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/webinars-and-series?hsLang=en#on-demand-webinars-video) - [Registration](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/webinars-and-series?hsLang=en#registration) - [Emails & Invitations](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/webinars-and-series?hsLang=en#emails-invitations) - [Attendee Experience](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/webinars-and-series?hsLang=en#attendee-experience) - [Design](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/webinars-and-series?hsLang=en#design) - [Promotion & Sharing](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/webinars-and-series?hsLang=en#promotion-sharing) - [Virtual & Hybrid Events](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/virtual-hybrid-events?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Event Setup](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/virtual-hybrid-events?hsLang=en#event-setup) - [Virtual Venue](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/virtual-hybrid-events?hsLang=en#virtual-venue) - [Registration](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/virtual-hybrid-events?hsLang=en#registration) - [Analytics/Integrations](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/virtual-hybrid-events?hsLang=en#analytics-integrations) - [Sessions and user journeys](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/virtual-hybrid-events?hsLang=en#sessions-and-user-journeys) - [Design](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/virtual-hybrid-events?hsLang=en#design) - [Sponsors & Networking](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/virtual-hybrid-events?hsLang=en#sponsors-networking) - [Hybrid Settings & Streaming](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/virtual-hybrid-events?hsLang=en#hybrid-settings-streaming) - [Presenter Capabilities](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/presenter-capabilities?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Using the Studio](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/presenter-capabilities?hsLang=en#using-the-studio) - [Presenter Settings & Permissions](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/presenter-capabilities?hsLang=en#presenter-settings-permissions) - [Content & Engagement](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/presenter-capabilities?hsLang=en#content-engagement) - [Integrations](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/integrations?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Webinar, Series and Event integrations](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/integrations?hsLang=en#webinar-series-and-event-integrations) - [Channel Integrations](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/integrations?hsLang=en#channel-integrations) - [In-person events & Mobile Event Apps](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/in-person-events-mobile-event-apps?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Event Companion App](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/in-person-events-mobile-event-apps?hsLang=en#event-companion-app) - [Scanner App, QR Codes & Badge Printing](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/in-person-events-mobile-event-apps?hsLang=en#scanner-app-qr-codes-badge-printing) - [BigMarker AI](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/bigmarker-ai?hsLang=en) - [Privacy, Security & Policies](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/privacy-security-policies?hsLang=en) [![Size=36px, Style=On-light, Brand=BigMarker-1](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Size=36px%2c%20Style=On-light%2c%20Brand=BigMarker-1.png?width=171&height=36&name=Size=36px%2c%20Style=On-light%2c%20Brand=BigMarker-1.png "Size=36px, Style=On-light, Brand=BigMarker-1")](http://bigmarker.com) © 2010 - 2026 BigMarker.
