# Event Moderators

Moderators have permissions. Based on those permissions these people can do certain things in your event.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Keep permissions minimal.** Only give people the access they need to do their work.
{% endhint %}

<details>

<summary><strong>3 types of moderators</strong></summary>

* [Supermoderator](https://app.gitbook.com/s/MoqjcHMq42F8FFp86l8S/features/company-moderators)
* [Platform moderator](/event/general/moderators/platform-moderators.md)
* [Hardware moderator](/event/general/moderators/hardware-moderators.md)

</details>

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Blocked users can't be moderators.** If a user is [blocked](https://app.gitbook.com/s/MoqjcHMq42F8FFp86l8S/features/blocked-users) from your company or event, they can't be searched for or added as a moderator. If they get blocked while already a moderator, they automatically lose that access.
{% endhint %}

### Permissions

Permissions **determine which parts** of the backend a moderator **can acces, view and/or edit**.

<details>

<summary>Examples of permissions</summary>

* *View a substation*
* *Edit accreditation*
* *Get information based on QR codes*
* *Check people in & out of event*

</details>

### Limit when enabled

You can **add a start and end date to each moderator**. Outside of those dates, their permissions are automatically inactive.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Best practice:** Set an active date range so access expires automatically when it's no longer needed.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.eventication.com/event/general/moderators.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
