What are the admin types on meetup.com?

Co-Organizer
A co-organizer can do everything an organizer can do, including the ability to view and manage transactions in the Money section. (Note: Only the primary organizer can receive and refund credit card payments from members.)
Assistant Organizer
An assistant organizer can help schedule Meetups, upload and edit photo albums, oversee the message board, email members, approve or decline membership requests, add or delete pages or polls, add venues, and more. An assistant organizer cannot change the Meetup group’s overall settings, including editing the appearance or privacy settings.
Event Organizer
An event organizer has more limited control within group settings, but has full control over the group calendar and can email members.
If you’d like to have a member assist you with a specific Meetup event but don’t wish to give them a recurring leadership role, you can instead appoint them as an event host.
