# **How do I add community admins in your owned communities?**

Adding community admins allows you to scale moderation, content management, and engagement across your communities and groups without relying on a single owner. This is especially important when:

- You are managing multiple communities and groups at scale
- You want faster content approvals and moderation decisions
- You need role-based access control within your **Business Account**
- You want trusted team members or partners to manage specific communities

By assigning admin roles, you maintain control while enabling distributed operations across your social experience.

## **Guide**

### **Step 1: Navigate & Access the community settings**

- Log in to your **Business Account**
- Click on **Settings**

### **Step 3: Assign permissions**

Depending on your configuration, admins may be allowed to:

- Approve or reject content in **Curate**
- Manage posts within the community
- Moderate user interactions
- Access engagement insights (if enabled)

Ensure the permissions align with your governance model before confirming.

## **How it works (System behavior)**

- Only **community owners** or users with higher privileges can assign admin roles
- Admin access is **community-specific**, not global across all communities
- Changes are applied in real-time and reflected across moderation workflows

## **Best practices**

- Assign admins per community based on content category or region
- Limit admin access to avoid overlapping moderation conflicts
- Regularly review admin roles to maintain governance and control
- Combine admin roles with **AI-assisted moderation** for efficiency and safety

## **Specs & Limitations**

- Admin roles are restricted to **owned communities only**
- Permissions may vary based on platform configuration
- Removal or role changes take effect immediately
- Some advanced actions (e.g., deletion of community) may remain restricted to owners
