Hi guys, What’s the difference between staff, admin and moderators? And what is this under the name of the group (Owner, automatic, member?) Thank you.

Hello @jenni_alencar! Staff = Both admins and moderators Admin = controls forum and settings (in a really simple way) Moderator = controls content and users [image] jenni_alencar: Owner You are the owner of the group. This is shown by a green shield icon. You can change group settings. [image] jenni_alencar: member You are a member of the group. [image] jenni_alencar: automatic You are automatically added to the group. For example: moderators is automatic. You must tick a checkbox to make a group automatic in the group settings when creating the group. (correct me here if I’m wrong)
