Logging In

You can login to the ArrowChat moderation panel by visiting http://www.yoursite.com/arrowchat/mod/ in your browser (replacing yoursite.com with your own domain).

It's important to note that the moderation panel does not have a username/password login system. It will only allows users that have been setup as moderators or admins to enter. Please see the section on Adding Mods/Admins.

Adding Mods/Admins

Adding admins and moderators can only be done through the administration panel. You can login to the ArrowChat administration panel by visiting http://www.yoursite.com/arrowchat/admin/ in your browser (replacing yoursite.com with your own domain). Please see Logging Into the Admin Panel for more information.

In your ArrowChat admin panel, navigate to Users -> Manage Users.

Search for the username or user ID of the person you would like to add and click Edit. You'll now be able to check the box to make the user an administrator or moderator. Be sure to hit Save Changes.
