Pieces of this user's shared links are broadcast every 15 seconds. Normal: Default user level, which may be changed in the channel config. Trusted: Pieces of this user's shared links are broadcast every 30 seconds. VIP: Pieces of this user's shared links are broadcast every 20 seconds. Star: Pieces of this user's shared links are broadcast every 15 seconds. Pieces of this user's shared links are broadcast every 12 seconds. Operator: Users of this level or above must be in the channel for new users to join. The streaming default level can be changed in the channel config and/or other individual user's may be granted permission to stream. This level can edit channel info and can stream by default. Manager: This level needs to be present for a channel to be advertised when someone gathers the list.

Owner: This user level allows everything possible. Aside from the default level for streaming permission, a user of lessor level can be given individual permission to stream.

Streaming affects all users in the channel since their bandwidth is used to propagate the stream whether or not they are playing the stream themselves or not. What powers and privileges each level has is sometimes configurable, such as the setting for minimum level to stream media in the channel. A Manager can't alter the level of another co-equal Manager and can only raise someone else to Operator, which is the level immediately under Manager. Users can change the level assigned to others of lessor status, up to 1 level below themselves. In order to lose owner status, that person must clear the channel's Secret Key. Be careful with assigning this "Owner" level, as you will be unable to demote them by force. The recipient then copies and pastes that Secret Key into the same setting field on their client and POOF! the channel ownership is cloned. Owner must copy the Secret Key from Channels -> Network -> Options and send it to the new co-owner by private message. Creating a co-owner requires a different process. Using the GUI, Owner can change the level for any other user up to Manager. Tixati channels support 12 levels for users in channels, from Owner to Banned.
