# Adding a co-host
When you start a Session, you are given the role of host. You can choose to give host permissions to any other person in the Session. However, because hosts have the highest possible permissions in a Session, we recommend that you give the permission only to people that you know and trust.

You can't make a LITE user a co-host.

If you're in a persistent Session and you give host permissions to a member of the Enterprise group that owns the persistent Session, that person remains a host the next time that they join the persistent Session.
{% endhint %}
You may want to assign another user as co-host to guard against unexpected technical issues. For example, if you are the only host in a standard Session, and you lose your network connection, everyone else in the Session is returned to the menu screen.
To add someone as a co-host, complete the following steps:
1\. Open the menu, select **Host Controls** , and then select the **Users** tab.
2\. Identify a user and select their **More** icon .

3\. On the **Host Actions** page, select **Add Co-Host**.
, and then select the **Users** tab.
