What are the roles for teams and spaces in Cisco Webex App?

What you can do in spaces in Cisco Webex App can vary, depending on your role. You might be moderating a team for one project and be listening in as an external participant on another. The people in these roles don't need to be part of your organization; external users can take on any of these roles, too.

Space Member
When you belong to a space that isn't moderated, you're all members of the space with the same privileges. You can add people and remove people to the space and change the space name.


Space Moderator
If you moderate a space, you remove other people's ability to add or remove people, edit space information, and make other people moderators. As a moderator, you can also delete other people's messages, but make sure you follow your organization's policy before you delete anything.

Note: When you're added to a space you will see beside the space name, until you open the space for the first time.


External Participant
You can participate in a space, even if you're not part of the same company. As an external participant, though, you won't be able to see or join other spaces. You can participate fully as a member of the space, sharing your expertise on one aspect of a larger project.


Team Moderator
If you created the team, you're the team's moderator. You control which spaces are available and who belongs to them. When you add people to the team, they are automatically added to your team's home space, General.

You can also make other people on the team moderators so they can share these responsibilities with you. So, even if you haven't created the team, you might still be a moderator.

Team Member
If a moderator adds you to the team, you are automatically added to a team space called General. After you become a team member, you can join other team spaces. You can also add other people as a guest to a space within a team. But only the moderator can add new people to the team.


Team Guest
If someone adds you to a team space without adding you to the team, you become a guest in that space. As a guest, you won't be able to see or join other spaces in the team. But you can participate fully as a member of the space, sharing your expertise on one aspect of a larger project.
