These roles are separate from and subordinate to the [global account roles](https://docs.boardable.com/knowledge/global-account-roles-and-permissions?hsLang=en) assigned during account creation.   Organization admins, meeting owners, and meeting collaborators automatically inherit admin permissions in Boardable Video sessions. Other participants, such as observers and guests, can be promoted from attendee to admin status.  To see a person's Boardable Video role: 1. Join a Boardable Video session. 2. Select **People** from the menu at the bottom of the screen. 1. A list of meeting participants appears. 3.
