Adding Moderators

There are two roles available for community members that are maintaining the registry's content.

Moderator  A moderator has access to the registries moderation dashboard, and has the ability to view, accept, reject, and withdraw submitted registrations. Moderators can only remove themselves from the moderation team.
Administrator  Along with the moderator features, Admins can also add or remove new moderators and modify their permissions (moving moderators to admins or vice versa).  The first administrator for a registration service will be added by COS staff.
  1. Click the ‘Moderators’ tab of your dashboard.
  2. Click the ‘Add Moderator’ button.
  3. A popup will appear where you have two options to add a moderator; adding a moderator through their OSF profile name or inviting a user by email.
  4. Select how you want to add a moderator.
    Username: Enter the new moderator’s OSF name. Note, the new moderator must already have an OSF account.
