Role Types
There are 3 roles for sessions:
- Organizer - Users who create a session. These users have full permissions for managing, customizing, and controlling a session.
- Co-Host - Users who join using a co-host link. On paid plans, organizers can add unlimited co-hosts to sessions. These users have full permissions for customizing and controlling the session, except the ability to manage the session in their dashboard.
- Attendee - Anyone else who joins a session. These users have no permissions for managing, customizing, or controlling the session.

How to Add a Co-Host
Every session has a co-host link and an attendee link, which are available in multiple locations throughout Session.
Simply copy and share the co-host link for anyone to use when joining your session. When they join using the co-host link, they automatically get co-host permissions.
Co-Host Link Locations
On the dashboard card for a session or room.
