# Adding moderation to your rooms with roles

As a team member, you may add roles to your rooms. Digital Samba Embedded comes equipped with a set of three preset roles designed to fit most use cases; but you can also create your own custom roles with unprecedented granularity and precision. 

## Preset roles

**Moderator**\
The Moderator preset is conceived to have all permissions, encompassing speaker’s rights to broadcast, screenshare and present, and also management rights such as granting or removing permissions, removing participants, starting and ending sessions, or recording them.

**Speaker**\
The Speaker preset is conceived to have all broadcast, screensharing and presentation permissions, but none of the Moderator’s management rights, such as as granting or removing permissions, removing participants, starting or ending sessions, or recording them.

**Attendee**\
The Attendee preset is conceived as the role with the lowest rank. An Attendee preset may essentially see and hear the Speaker and Moderator presets' audio, video and screenshare streams, but won't be seen or heard.

**Teacher**\
The Teacher role preset has the same exact rights as the Moderator preset. 

**Student**\
The Student preset is conceived as a role with a low set of permissions. A user in the Student role can view the session streams and also have the ability to broadcast and edit the whiteboard by default but has no room moderation capabilities.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The list in the [Roles section](https://dashboard.digitalsamba.com/roles) inventories all the roles created by your team, however you will need to expressly [add them to your rooms](https://docs.digitalsamba.com/dashboard/adding-moderation-to-your-rooms-with-roles/add-roles-to-a-room) if you want them there.
