How to assign moderators to a session

Use this guide when you need to assign one or more moderators to a session. The moderators[] parameter in POST /api/v2/sessions/set replaces the entire moderator list — so always pass the full desired list, not just the new additions.

Prerequisites

Account must have moderator=true set first. An account can only be assigned as a moderator on a session if they have already been registered as a moderator for this event via POST /api/v2/account/set.

See the "How to enable an account as a moderator" guide under POST account/set.

Request — assign moderators to an existing session

Bash

curl -X POST "https://your-event-domain.com/api/v2/sessions/set" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer your_api_key_here" \
  -F "id=42" \
  -F "moderators[]=18862" \
  -F "moderators[]=18863"

Request — clear all moderators from a session

Bash

curl -X POST "https://your-event-domain.com/api/v2/sessions/set" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer your_api_key_here" \
  -F "id=42" \
  -F "moderators[]="

Full two-step workflow

Step 1: Register account as event moderator
POST /api/v2/account/set
→ event_id=7, email=alex.johnson@example.com, moderator=true

Step 2: Assign moderator to a session
POST /api/v2/sessions/set
→ id=42, moderators[]=18862

Notes

moderators[] is a full replacement — every update overwrites the current list
moderators[] accepts account IDs (integers) or email addresses (strings)
A single account can be both a speaker and a moderator on the same session
