+# Issue Moderation Configuration
+
+This repository includes an automated GitHub Action that moderates issues and comments based on team membership.
+
+## How it works
+
+The GitHub Action (`issue-moderation.yml`) automatically:
+
+1. **Monitors new issues**: When someone creates an issue, it checks if they're a member of authorized teams
+2. **Monitors new comments**: When someone comments on an issue, it checks their team membership
+3. **Takes action**: If the user is not in an authorized team:
+   - Issues: Closes the issue and adds an explanatory comment
+   - Comments: Deletes the comment immediately
+
+## Configuration
+
+To configure which teams are authorized, edit the `allowedTeams` array in `.github/workflows/issue-moderation.yml`:
+
+```javascript
+const allowedTeams = [
+  'core-team',        // Replace with your actual team slugs
+  'maintainers',      // Team slugs are found in your GitHub organization
+  'admins'            // Multiple teams can be authorized
+];
+```
+
+## Team Setup
+
+1. Ensure your GitHub organization has teams created
+2. Add the appropriate members to each team
+3. Update the `allowedTeams` array with your team slugs
+4. The workflow will automatically enforce these permissions
+
+## Permissions Required
+
+The workflow requires the following permissions:
+- `issues: write` - To close issues and create/delete comments
+- `contents: read` - To access repository content
+- `metadata: read` - To read organization metadata and team information
+
+## Important Notes
+
+- Only organization teams are supported (not repository collaborators)
+- Team membership is checked against the organization that owns the repository
+- The action provides clear logging for all moderation activities
+- Users will receive a clear message when their issue is closed due to team membership
