To restate the possible changes suggested by Donald (and include a fourth suggestion);
1) Have it that by default Users always have the ability to zoom their Whiteboard (since "it only affects each person's screen not the group") 2) The abilities to "Clear whiteboard" (whiteboard tool), "change pages/slides" (Properties window), and "clear the chat window" (Chat window) will be Moderator only permissions. 3) Giving Users "Draw on the Whiteboard" permissions will give them the ability to use the "Undo" tool, but not the "Clear whiteboard" tool. They would get access to the properties window for changing fonts, colours and sizes but not for changing slides/pages. 4) The ability to scroll the whiteboard - As user scrolling affects all users, is it possible to have users able to scroll only their own Whitebaord, but moderators scroll everyone's Whiteboard ? This solution seems the best if it is not too hard to code. If so the users could have scroll and zoom ability by default as both these two abilities would only affect their own whiteboard. Please read and review the above changes, and let us know if there are any issues that could arise if these changes are implemented.

I want to give the participants the ability to write on board but I think the X option should not be there for the participants because it wipes out the modertator stuff too. 2. The direction arrows for the white board presentations should only be there for the moderator or optional to turn on for the participants because they can then move through the presentation and interrupt the moderator? 3. Participants should not be allowed to clear chats, that should be a option of the moderator especially everyones chats Question: If I have not chatted with a participant - How do I do the first chat with them?
