By default in the X-CD system, you may define a single primary presenter and multiple co-authors. If you wish to be able to define more than one presenter and/or alternate role labels such as Discussant, while adding co-authors to the submission, the submitter can associate the co-author to a different role label.
The administrator will need to define the different role types in the Author Roles screen.
