Manage Talk Admin Roles

There are three default categories of administrator-level roles available and each has built-in permissions to perform some or all of the administrator tasks.

Default roles and permissions:

• Content Admin. Manage how content is published and who sees it. Pin and unpin posts. View analytics. Moderate reported posts and comments.
• Group Admin. Manage groups, including member access and join requests. Create automated rules to generate groups in bulk.
• Organizational Admin. Perform all administrator activities. Considered the "super user" because this role has permissions to manage all activities and tasks available to Talk admins. Users are assigned admin roles by the Organizational Admin.

• Default roles cannot be edited or deleted, but role permissions can be customized on a per-user basis. For example, one Group Admin may have permissions to manage all groups on the tenant while another Group Admin may have permissions limited to specific groups.
• Additional custom roles can be created, configured, and edited to support your company's hierarchical structure and requirements.
• Admins with limited roles and permissions see only the tabs, buttons, and functionality allowed them by those roles. For example, the Group Admin has access to create automated rules and see the Groups page while the Content Admin does not.
• Users can be assigned more than one role.
