Control: what it does and where to start
Control governs who can do what, what content is allowed, and how inventory is described to buyers. Every product reads its rules from here. The rules and capability levels you set here are what Supervised Intelligence runs on. That's what keeps your brand supervised, not only powered. Supervised Intelligence and every product act inside your rules, so your brand and your audience stay yours instead of being handed over to centralized social and AI apps.
Roles decide who can change what, in your Business Account and inside each community. Moderation, guidelines, and blocklists decide which content runs. Your brand safety profile describes your inventory to partners and buyers, and informs how they value it. Player and feed settings decide how each placement behaves, without code.
You don't write these rules from scratch. Octo, Genuin's Supervised Intelligence interface in your Business Account, proposes them with the setup already done. For example, Supervised Intelligence drafts your community guidelines and brand safety profile, ready for you to review. Nothing goes live until you approve them. Read Control: roles, moderation, brand safety, and guidelines first for the full model.
Get started
- Invite your team and assign roles. Give content, revenue, and engineering the access they need and nothing more.
- Set moderation and brand safety. Every post passes rules you chose before anyone sees it.
- Structure communities and groups for relevance. Groups are the feeds your rules and roles apply to.
Set the rules
| Control | What it sets | When to set it |
|---|---|---|
| Business Account Roles and Scoped Roles | Owner, Admin, Content Manager, and Viewer roles, plus custom roles with the permissions you choose, each scoped to a brand, network, or community | Any team larger than one |
| Community Roles and Creator Tiers | Host, Contributor, Member creator (a member whose posts go through moderation), and Partner roles inside communities | Any community with creators or brand partners |
| Moderation Baselines and Queue | Standard or Strict baselines, a queue of reported content you accept or reject, with SLA timers, bulk actions, and appeals, and a history of every decision | Before go-live, on every network |
| Brand Safety Profile | A description of your inventory, aligned with industry brand safety standards, that partners and buyers see | Before you connect any demand |
| Keyword and Topic Blocklists | Lists that apply to content and ads at once | Regulated industries, competitor exclusions, and sensitive topics |
| Community Guidelines and Appeals | Your rules on top of Genuin's policy floor, shown on first post and on every appeal | Before go-live |
| Player Controls and Feed Settings | Autoplay, sound, captions, buttons, sticky player, and Maya's parameters per page type | Any time, and changes apply live |
| Audit Log, Two-Factor, and SSO for your Business Account | Change history, two-factor enforcement, and single sign-on (SSO) across Android, iOS, and Business Account | Regulated or multi-team accounts |

Rules that reach other products
- Blocklists and ad quality controls: your exclusions applied to every demand source before an ad renders.
- Content policies and community guidelines: Genuin's policy floor, which your guidelines build on.
- Privacy and VPPA: the two-channel data flow: how viewing history and identity stay apart until consent joins them.
- Security, data residency, and compliance: account isolation, encryption, and regional storage.
Build it
Feed and player settings live in Control. When a page needs something different, developers can override them for that embed with element attributes, which Embed configuration reference lists. Customize the Genuin video player covers sizes, layouts, and the profile menu. To sign members in with your own accounts, set up single sign-on with your identity provider.
The live server API manages community roles from your own systems. You can add moderators to a community and update a group and its members. The role and policy calls in the Business Account API are proposed, not live. Live API today and the Business Account API roadmap maps what you can call now to what's planned.
