looking for the right word...
Hi,
THere is a video conference (e.g., a webex video conference)
There is the host and the moderator in the conference, plus a certain number of "rank and file" attendees.
The moderator can delegate his/her (moderator) rights to any one of the attendees. Which of the following versions (= an option from the attendee's context menu) make sense to you?
(1) Make moderator
(2) Set to moderator
(3) Set moderator ( I guess this one is broken .... because "to' is missing?)
(4) Assign as moderator
Thank you!

Hi Mister Micawber,
Just one follow-up question... a very naive one :-)
If "Assign as moderator" is OK, would "Unassign as moderator" be passable (in computer speak/GUI) as well?

We just say "let me pass control over to ..."
or
I"m going to make Jeremy the presentor now... let me just give him control of the session."
The person doesn't become a moderator because he or she can now show their desktop. The moderator is still in charge of the meeting.

'Assign' to me smacks more of command to an underling than does 'appoint', but they are of equal formality.
An antonym of 'appoint' would of course be 'disappoint', and thus other negating prefixes sound odd as well.

If you "unassign" someone from their ability to share their desktop, you take control back yourself, right?
What about "transfer control" and "resume control"?
