Moderator
Key point: A manager who can accept or reject memberships and comments.

A moderator is a particular role that gives the responsibility to moderate comments and memberships to a member of the group. A moderator has the same permissions as a manager, except they are emailed comments for approval before they are inserted.

There can only be one moderator in a group.

Comment moderation

When enabled, the moderator receives an email link to either accept or reject comments before they are made available to the group.

This is typically used when comments can be posted by non-members such as when the group is accessible to public.

For managers

As a manager, you can enable comment moderation from your group configuration:

  1. Go to the group configuration page from your group dashboard.
  2. Expand Advanced options, go to the Comments section.
  3. Select one of the two Moderate options from the Comment moderation drop-down menu.

Memberships moderation

When enabled, the moderator receives an email link to either accept or reject a request from pending members to join the group.

For managers

As a manager, you can enable membership moderation from your group configuration:

  1. Go to the group configuration page from your group dashboard.
  2. Expand Advanced options, go to the Members section.
  3. Select the Moderated option from the Joining drop-down menu.
