In the CB configuration / moderation there are the finings: moderator can accept new registrators + emails sent to moderators and others.
Please tell exactly: in my opinion moderators are community leaders, administring community members. A founder of a community invites members to his group, he should be responsible for his group(s). 1 step he is inviter. It makes no sense if a com member invites others to is group, and the com leader can only allow registration (and others) - he donot know the invited; as an example. So: thees accepting invited people or moderating the group - does CB know the connection of this group moderator and all the procedures, or: will all the moderators get the emails? I could not find detailed documentation on your platform.

CB Moderators moderate the users. They have the ability to manage most of a users information. For example to manage the users blogs, invites, or various other information. They can also edit their profile it self if enabled. Moderators can approve new user registrations from frontend as well.

What users receive moderator emails depends on if they're configured to receive moderator emails and are in fact a moderator (based off the view access level parameter in CB > Configuration > Moderation). Next edit the user in CB > User Management and you can configure them to receive moderator emails.

Please see your documentation available for download in the Advanced downloads section for further CB usage information.

Re: documentation - I have read it 2 times before writing you-it may be these question are answered in the handbook - my download contain 170 pages, not 180 as declared by you. You could send me the missing 10 pages.
You offered me a 30 day cancelation period after purchase of Group jive/advanced rel.
I will decide after clarification from yourside, if I will have 500 groups and so 500 groupleaders/founders 500 people will get information by emails?

CB Moderator groups can in CB 2.0+ be configured in the Community Builder -> Configuration -> Moderation tab. The Moderators View Access Level lets you interface with the Joomla ACL views/groups.

Relevant video tutorial #26 will help you understand:
www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLp0puRITgC7PuyzPsMUECDI46VE7IFSAX

A user that is in a Joomla group that is in the Joomla ACL view that is configured in the Moderators View Access Level parameter will be able to approve new CB registrations (if admin approval is configured in CB) using the CB Workflows module.

Relevant information about this can be found in following resources:
www.joomlapolis.com/documentation/community-builder/getting-started
Video tutorial #03

A user that is a CB Moderator may also receive email notifications of new avatar images uploaded by users that need approval (also managed via the CB Workflows module).

So in summary a CB Moderator may be able to do one or more of the following (based on various configurations):

+ Receive pending action notifications (new user approvals, reports, image approvals)
+ Access and process pending items via the CB Workflow module
+ Frontend editing of user profiles (if configured)

GroupJive also has its own Moderator features/functionality that is independent of CB Moderators.

Each GroupJive group owner can assign specific GroupJive group members making them a group moderator. This gives them specific privileges within the group itself depending on how various elements of the groupjive group have been configured. So, for example, a group might be configured to only allow group moderators to upload files into the group, or only allow group moderators to upload videos, etc. A groupjive group moderator is also automatically made a forum moderator (in kunena) for the private forum category assigned for group discussions.

GroupJive moderators (if configured) will receive email (and/or Private message) notifications of various group related actions (e.g., when a new user joins the group, etc.).

I hope this helps to clarify better some of the functionality.

Feel free to ask anything more specific if needed.

I am very sorry, I cannot find the right way to adjust a moderator to a group.
You mention: Each GroupJive group owner can assign specific GroupJive group members making them a group moderator. --- I can not find this possibility. I can imagin the right place would be, in the group tab Registered User, there is Menu Button including this possibility ? Clicking on the button it will not open. Where is the key to allow open the menu in the backyard I find nothing --

Beg pardon: during writing this I checked again in GJ Administrative panel area and opened the "User icon". In this list of persons with their groups the latest row has this function with an arrow. (Someone should describe this in the manual.)

There are no other question - I am the greatest fan of CB & GJ - Thank you

Yup - that is how a GroupJive group owner can assign users to be a moderator.

I will be writing a full GroupJive manual as soon as the next release is done.
