Article 8 Responsibilities of AGORA administrators
Summary What does Article 8 of the Information sharing system say?
This article defines the core responsibilities of AGORA administrators, a role introduced in earlier articles where Digital Services Coordinators, the Commission, and the Board are each required to appoint at least one.
It sets out what those administrators are actually expected to do once appointed, covering user management, liaison with the Commission, and operational support.
Important points:
- AGORA administrators are responsible for managing user access, including both granting and revoking it.
- AGORA administrators act as the main contact point for the Commission on all AGORA-related issues, including data protection matters.
- AGORA administrators must provide training, technical assistance, and helpdesk support to the AGORA users registered under them.
Springlex's summary of the article is a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.
AGORA administrators shall be responsible for:
registering AGORA users, and granting and revoking access to AGORA;
acting as the main contact point for the Commission for issues relating to AGORA, including providing information on aspects relating to the protection of personal data in accordance with this Regulation, Regulation (EU) 2016/679, and Regulation (EU) 2018/1725;
providing knowledge, training and support, including technical assistance and a helpdesk, to AGORA users registered by them;
ensuring the efficient provision of adequate responses by AGORA actors.
