# Jitsi Moderator Role

The **Moderator** is a specific administrative role within a [[jitsi-meet]] conference.

## Assignment
A user is automatically assigned the Moderator role if they:
1. Open the Jitsi room.
2. Are logged in using their [[zentraler-nutzeraccount]].

Moderators are visually identified in the conference tile view by a **star symbol**.

## Permissions
Moderators possess administrative controls that standard participants do not have, specifically:
- The ability to **mute** individual participants.
- The ability to **temporarily remove** participants from the room.

Despite these administrative powers, moderators have the same technical rights as other participants regarding their own audio, camera, and screen sharing capabilities.
