# Roles and capabilities

> Understand which Moodle roles and permissions affect who can create, join, manage, and administer BigBlueButton activities.

BigBlueButton behavior in Moodle depends on both the plugin’s own capabilities and the broader Moodle role model.

## Role-sensitive areas

Permissions affect who can:

* create activities
* join rooms
* join as moderator
* manage recordings
* see hidden activities
* change advanced activity settings

## Practical admin guidance

Review capabilities carefully for:

* managers
* editing teachers
* non-editing teachers
* students
* guests

If teachers report missing controls, this page is one of the first places to audit.
