Room Member Roles 🥷
What are the group member roles in Keet?
In Keet, each group chat is an independent space with peers and admins and moderators who define the rules.
Admins and Moderators can restrict a user’s access to their group, but this doesn’t affect the other users’ ability to start their own chats or join others.
Peer
Can send messages and media, start group calls (if enabled).
Can delete their own messages.
Can invite others to join this group as Peers.
Can report inappropriate content.
Moderator

Can change the group name and avatar.
Can delete any messages in the group.
Can mute/unmute other peers.
Can enable/disable calls in the group.
Can enable/disable room activity events
Can promote and invite others to join the group as a Moderator.
Can report inappropriate content.
Administrator

Administrator Responsibilities
As an Administrator, you play a key role in keeping the group active and operational. Because Keet groups are fully peer-to-peer, they depend on the devices of their active admins — especially the ones used to create the group. Make sure to be online from the original 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 to keep the group stable. Limit admin invites for the best experience.
How to change the roles of group members?
You get assigned a particular role upon joining via the invitation link, but it can be changed later by the administrator.
To change role, as an admin or moderator, go to a 'Group Options' and click 'Members 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 group 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.
Moderators can also downgrade themselves in the same way if they decide not to moderate the group anymore.
Downgrade Admin to Peer or Moderator
Select an Admin member from the list
Ensure that there is more than one Admin in a group
Choose 'Peer', and click 'Downgrade'. It will remove all the moderator’s capabilities from the member.
Administrators can also downgrade themselves in the same way if they decide not to be an admin and not to moderate the group anymore.
Upgrade a member to an Admin
Unlike Peers and Moderators, the Administrator role can only be assigned through a dedicated group 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 group.
As an Administrator, open the group 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.
