Giving your Twitch mods access to your bot

You can give someone access to your Moobot by adding them as an editor, allowing them to manage your bot during your stream.

Anyone added as a Moobot editor can access, monitor, and adjust your bot from your Moobot dashboard and Twitch chat.

Each editor is part of a permission group, which determines what they can view and adjust.

If you have activated the Community Loyalty feature, the menu will display the time passed since each of your editors was last seen in your Twitch chat. This can give you a quick overview of whether they're still active in your community.

Accessing a dashboard as an editor​

Once someone adds you as an editor of their Moobot, you can navigate to and access their dashboard directly.

Follow these steps to access someone's dashboard:

  1. Sign in to your Moobot dashboard.
  2. Hover over the user widget on your dashboard to display its menu.
  3. (⁎) Focus the «Navigate to...» input in the pop-up menu, then search and select the dashboard (Twitch username) you want to navigate to.Accessing a dashboard as an editorAccessing a dashboard as an editor

(⁎) If the drop-down menu does not list the dashboard, you may not have access to it yet.

You can also navigate to a dashboard directly by replacing the current dashboard's name in your browser's navigation bar. For example, if you want to go to Moobot's dashboard, you would navigate to «https://moo.bot/moobot».

Seeing what you have access to as an editor​

Your assigned permission group and its permissions determines what you have access to as a Moobot editor.

Follow these steps to see what you have access to on a dashboard:

  1. Open the «Permissions» menu from the main menu, then open the «Your permissions» menu from there.
  2. The menu will display all your granted permissions using green checkboxes.

Keep in mind that this menu is only accessible on someone else's dashboard, as you will always have all permissions granted on your own dashboard.

Adjusting what your Twitch mods can access​

An editor's permission group determines what they have access to.

A permission group can have multiple editors assigned to it, but an editor can only be in one permission group at a time.

You should always assign a permission group to an editor; otherwise, they will only have access to the most basic functionality of the Moobot dashboard.

  5. Click the «Save» button at the bottom of the menu.

(⁎) You can activate the «Grant the group all permissions» checkbox to grant all present and future permissions to a permission group. This means that if Moobot adds new permissions later, it will automatically give this group access to them.

Using permission groups to rank your editors​

You can use an editor's permission group to determine their rank.

Each permission group has a numbered rank, starting from 1, where a lower number indicates a higher rank (e.g., rank #1 is higher than rank #2).

You can set a permission group to be self-sufficient, allowing its editors to adjust the permission group of lower-ranked editors only, and placing them into either lower-ranked permission groups or their own group.

There are two permissions in the «Editors» section of a group's permissions that make this possible:

  • «Set the permission group of lower ranked channel editors to no group, or a group equal to or lower ranked than own group».
  • «Set the permission group of lower ranked channel editors to no group, or a group lower ranked than own group».

This means you can separate your editors into self-sufficient groups, such as «Trainees», «Mods», and «Head mods», where «Mods» only control «Trainees», but «Head mods» control both «Trainees» and «Mods».
