Slido’s current RBAC design works well for Slido’s use as a standalone product. However, the incongruity between Slido’s & WSMP (Webex Suite Meeting Platform) Webinar roles result in challenges for a number of use cases in which the Host / Cohost of the Webinar serve in Webinars with a set of technical and moderation controls that are not available to other panelists. The use case that is outlined below highlights an example in which the embedded Slido experience is unable to maintain a strictly controlled, private Q&A environment where attendee questions are never visible to other attendees. T
— The issue that exists in the WSMP Webinar Experience, while using the Slido Integration is that Panelists will have the same level of control as a Host/Cohost. There lacks the ability for Panelists to have a "read only" view of the Slido panel, while the Host & Cohost would maintain the full slido moderation experience. All panelists have moderation features available to them. There does not appear to be a workaround, presently.
— From [Customer Name]’s perspective and use case, questions that are taken in the Webinar are addressed verbally if it pertains to the subject matter of the Webinar. This necessitates a panelist having the ability to view the Q&A panel. Questions that are asked in Slido are only replied to directly by the Host or Cohost (Webinar production Team) if a question pertains to a technical issue. The Webinar production team perceive there being too much risk in a panelist having the ability to click the green check mark after they verbally address a question.
Feature Request:
Introduce a “Panelist” role in Slido that can be used to maintain alignment with WSMP Webinar roles. Differentiating a Slido “Panelist” from a Slido “Co-Moderator”. Such that a Panelist has limited interaction opportunities with the Slido Moderation Panel, but is able to view the Moderation Panel. As they are Panelists and not attendees.
Note: While the use case outlined above is Q&A specific - This new role would fundamentally affect both the Q&A & Polling experience for the reasons described for Q&A.
