# Admin + Moderators

The Admin & Moderators page can be found under the Admin Capabilities page. Only admins and moderators can access this page.

This page is to assign or remove admin & moderator rights to members in the Common community. It is incredibly important to only assign these roles to community members that you can trust. Oftentimes these roles are only reserved for core team members.
