    2. Moderators: Moderators can add or remove members and manage department settings.
    3. Members: Members are the non-privileged employees present in the department.
    4. Followers: There may be cases where an employee needs to be part of multiple departments. For example, support agents might need to stay in touch with the Production and Management teams in order to keep their knowledge bases updated. In those cases, the employee can be added to additional departments as a follower. They will have access to all the resources of the additional departments, but will only be considered a Member of their primary department.
