# **How Do You Add Admins to Maintain Quality and Governance in Your Social Experience?**

Use this guide when you need trusted team members to oversee discussions and maintain standards inside your social experience.

Admins play a governance role inside your Commerce Media Network. While Creators focus on content and engagement, Admins ensure conversations stay respectful, aligned with guidelines, and professionally managed, all within your Business Account.

If your social experience is growing, adding Admins is essential for scale and trust.

## **What You’ll Do**

- Understand the Admin role
- Differentiate Admins from Creators
- Assign Admins to a specific Community
- Strengthen moderation and oversight

## **What Is an Admin?**

Employees or trusted internal stakeholders responsible for governance.

As engagement increases, conversations need structure and oversight.

Admins help:

- Monitor discussions
- Enforce community guidelines
- Address inappropriate content
- Resolve conflicts
- Maintain a respectful environment

Their responsibility is not content creation, it’s quality control and tone management.

**Admin vs Creator: What’s the Difference?**

| Creators | Admins |
| --- | --- |
| Create and manage Groups | Oversee interactions within Communities |
| Organize content | Enforce rules and guidelines |
| Drive engagement | Maintain tone and order |
| Focus on participation | Focus on governance |

**Creators activate the Community. Admins protect it.**

Both roles are important, but they serve different purposes.

## **How to Add Admins to a Community**

## **Why Adding Admins Early Matters**

As your social experience grows: **More members > More conversations > Higher moderation needs**

Adding Admins ensures:

- Faster issue resolution
- Consistent enforcement of guidelines
- A safe and welcoming environment
- Reduced operational burden on Owners

Governance should scale with engagement, not react to problems.

## **What to Do Next**

After adding Admins, consider:

- Defining clear Community guidelines
- Assigning Creators for content activation
- Reviewing moderation workflows
- Monitoring engagement trends

Strong Communities are not just active, they are well-managed. Adding the right Admins ensures your network grows with trust and structure.
