Giving your Twitch mods access to your bot

Your Twitch moderators can access your Moobot, allowing them to help manage your bot during your stream.

With Moobot's permission system you can control exactly what your Twitch moderators can do and see.

By default, your Twitch moderators have limited access to your Moobot, but you can grant them additional permissions by adding them as editors and assigning them to the appropriate permission groups.

Giving your Twitch mods access​

Without being added as an editor, a Twitch moderator can access your Moobot with a limited set of permissions.

  1. Open the «Permissions» menu from the main menu, then open the «Twitch moderators» menu from there.The permissions main menuThe permissions main menu

Accessing a Moobot dashboard​

If you are a Twitch moderator in someone's channel, or they have added you as a Moobot editor, you can access their Moobot dashboard.

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 «Open dashboard...» input in the pop-up menu, then search for and select the dashboard you want to open.Accessing a Moobot dashboardAccessing a Moobot dashboard

Seeing what you have access to on someone else's dashboard​

Your assigned permission group and its permissions determine 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 always have all permissions granted on your own dashboard.

Adjusting what your Twitch mods can access​

A user's permission group determines what they have access to.

Twitch moderators share a single permission group, while Moobot editors can be assigned to different permission groups.

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

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

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 place 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 manage «Trainees», while «Head mods» manage both «Trainees» and «Mods».

Managing your Twitch moderators​

You can manage your Twitch moderators directly from the «Twitch moderators» menu on your Moobot dashboard.

This allows you and your team to view, add, and remove moderators on Twitch.

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