Room Member Roles 🥷
What are the room member roles in Keet?
In Keet, each room is an independent space with its own admins and moderators who define the rules and peers.
Admins and Moderators can restrict a user’s access to their room, but this doesn’t affect the other user’s ability to create their own rooms or join others.

Administrator Responsibilities
As an Administrator, you play a key role in keeping the room active and operational. Because Keet rooms are fully peer-to-peer, the room depends on the devices of its active admins — especially the ones used to create or join the room. Make sure to connect from that device regularly to maintain smooth operation and indexing.
Before leaving the room, assign another member as Administrator so the room continues to function.
A few active admins are better than many inactive ones — a small, consistently online group keeps the room stable. Limit admin invites for the best experience.
How to change the roles of room members?
You get assigned a particular role upon joining via the invitation link, but it can be changed later by the room administrator.
To change role, as an admin or moderator, go to a room settings and click 'Member permissions' to see the list of members:
Upgrade Peer to Moderator
Select a Peer member from the list
Choose 'Moderator'; review and if agreeable, acknowledge the moderator capabilities; click 'Make room moderator'
Downgrade Moderator to Peer
Select a Moderator member from the list
Choose 'Peer', and click 'Downgrade'. It will remove all the moderator’s capabilities from the member.
A Moderator can also downgrade itself in the same way if they decide not to moderate the room anymore.
Downgrade Admin to Peer or Moderator
Select an Admin member from the list
Ensure that there is more than one Admin in a room
Choose 'Peer', and click 'Downgrade'. It will remove all the moderator’s capabilities from the member.
An Administrator can also downgrade itself in the same way if they decide not to be an admin and moderate the room anymore.
Upgrade a member to an Admin
Unlike Peers and Moderators, the Administrator role can only be assigned through a dedicated room admin invite.
If a user is already a member, they can click the admin link to be promoted — no need to leave and rejoin the room.
As a room Administrator, open the room where you want to add another Admin.
Click the ‘Create Invite Link’ button in the top-right corner.
Select ‘Admin’ as the invite type; review and if agreeable accept the Admin rules; then click ‘Generate new link’.
Share the invite link with the user or let them scan the generated QR code to join or be upgraded to Administartor.
