No, as a moderator, you generally cannot promote another user to moderator in Discourse; this action is restricted to site administrators for security reasons. Moderators can, however, perform other actions depending on their permissions, such as assigning users to moderator groups or creating custom roles in other forum systems, but the direct act of promoting a user to moderator is an admin-level task in Discourse.
Why you can’t promote to moderator
- Admin-level control: The act of promoting a user to moderator or admin is considered a high-level security action. It is intentionally restricted to administrators to prevent accidental or unauthorized changes to the user hierarchy, according to Discourse Meta.
- Security measure: When a user is promoted to moderator, the forum’s system grants them a significant amount of power over the community. Restricting this to admins ensures that a higher level of authority is required for such a decision.
How a new moderator is created
- Admin promotion: The user must be promoted by an administrator. The administrator will go to the user’s admin page, find the permissions section, and check the “Moderator” box, as described in Discourse Meta.
- Admin confirmation: In some cases, especially for promoting to an admin role, the admin making the change will need to confirm the action via email or a two-factor authentication code, though this is not required for promoting to a moderator role.
Alternatives for moderators
- Assign to groups: Some platforms may allow moderators to add users to specific moderator groups or assign them roles, but this is not the same as being able to promote them to the moderator status itself.
- Escalate to admin: If you believe a user should be a moderator, your role is to inform an administrator and recommend the user for the position. The administrator will then take the necessary steps to promote them, as detailed in Discourse Meta https://meta.discourse.org/t/add-an-admin-or-moderator-to-your-facebook-group,.
