Manage chat reporting reasons
Introduction
AccelByte Gaming Services (AGS) chat reporting and moderation feature enables you to create a list of customized reasons that your players can select from when they submit a report. This list of reasons is also used in auto-moderation rules and when game admins manually review and take action on reports.
The chat reporting and moderation settings are available in game namespaces in the AGS Admin Portal. On the sidebar, go to Chat > Reporting and Moderation to access the menu.
Prerequisites
Game admins must have the followings permissions:
| Permissions | Action | Usage |
|---|---|---|

You also have the option to create reason groups, which you can use to categorize the reasons you create. One reason can belong to multiple groups. Go to the Reason Group tab to create a reason group.
