System and Site Administrators have the ability to delegate idea management responsibilities to "Moderators" with limited administrative abilities in Brightidea. We hope that allowing lighter privileges will open up further opportunities to scale your innovation team, and launch more Initiatives easily!
The Moderator has the ability to manage an existing idea evaluation process without the ability to access Enterprise, Site or Pipeline setup areas.

Hi Kuhan,
This new functionality is only built for the new features described above.
I did a quick test and looks like the 'moderator' can indeed change status on the old feature set.
However, they can't do much of the other functionality described here, like even toggle idea visibility on View Idea 1.0.
Let me know if you have any other questions on this topic.
Thanks,
Brightidea Support
Can the moderator see Additional Info tab?
I also have this question - can they see and edit the Additional Info tab on ideas?
I'm wondering how many moderators we can have for one challenge if there's a limit? Thank you.
Hi All,
Currently, the moderator role is not designed to be able to post blogs.
Moderators can see the Additional Info tab and complete/update the fields.
In terms of the number of moderators that can be set, please check with your Brightidea Account Manager regarding admin licenses.
Best,
Daniel
According to the chart above, Moderators are able to add Admin Comments on ideas, but I dont think that is the case, can you clarify and/or update the chart? :)
