Hi George,

if you shift those rights to the moderator of the room only the effect
will be that if you want to grant anybody those rights you need to
make them a moderator too.
Moderators can kick other users out of the room and remove the
moderation stick from other users (except they are super-moderator).

Are you sure that this is the desired behaviour for the right system?
What do others think about that change?

The main changes are covered in:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENMEETINGS-370
and:
OPENMEETINGS-369 - Please make the "Clear Whiteboard" tool only
accessible to Moderators and not to participants who have “Draw on the
Whiteboard” rights
OPENMEETINGS-370 - Please make the ability to change slides/pages of
an uploaded document only available to Moderators, and not to
participants who have “Draw on the Whiteboard” rights
OPENMEETINGS-371 - Please make the ability to create new Whiteboards
or change the Whiteboard only available to Moderators, and not to
participants who have “Draw on the Whiteboard” rights has been
successfully created.
OPENMEETINGS-374 - Only Moderators should have the ability to upload,
add, delete, or load files and folders.

I don't think that adding a new role "User is a presenter" is a
solution, we already have enough right levels so that it is confusing
for beginners to deal with it.
The effect after this shift could be that users start complaining: Why
do we need moderation rights to change whiteboard slides.
How would you answer that?

Sebastian
