# As an Operator

As an operator, you play a crucial role in managing nodes for your delegators. Here’s what you need to know:

### Responsibilities

* You are responsible for running nodes effectively for all your delegators.
* Your total commission is the cumulative commission from each of your delegators.

### **Run Nodes**

* All your delegators are listed on the **'Run by myself'** page.
* You can download your delegator's license by clicking the **'Download License'** button.
* Ensure the nodes are running on time and properly maintained.
* Consistent, reliable performance will improve your records and increase your commission opportunities.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.din.lol/din-cook-data-for-ai/how-to-join/chipper-node-explained/delegation/as-an-operator.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
