Users and access
The two roles each social module defines, and how to give people the right one.
Each social module defines two roles, User and Manager, in its own group category. Set them per user:
Settings → Users & Companies → Users → open a user → Access Rights tab.
AI Growth Workforce (category "AI Growth Workforce")#
| Role | Can |
|---|---|
| User | Write posts and submit them for approval. See agents and the activity log. Cannot approve, cannot publish without approval, cannot see platform credentials. |
| Manager | Everything a User can, plus approve, reject, schedule and publish; manage platform credentials; set agent autonomy levels. Implies User. |
Two defaults are applied on install so nothing breaks for people who already had access:
- every internal user becomes a User;
- anyone with Settings access becomes a Manager.
Important
Take Manager off the people who should not approve their own work.
Nobody can edit the AI Activity Log, managers included. That is deliberate: an audit trail people can edit is not an audit trail. More in Roles and permissions.
Social Media Marketing Automation (category "Social Marketing")#
| Role | Can |
|---|---|
| User | Create posts and campaigns, use the compose wizard, submit posts for approval. Read accounts and templates. |
| Manager | Full access to accounts, campaigns, posts, templates and hashtags, including API credentials and the n8n Automation Settings. Schedule directly, and approve or reject submissions. |
The administrator (base.user_admin) is a Manager from the start. Details in Security.
The Documentation module#
The smarterp_docs module has one role, Documentation → Editor, implied by Settings access. Editors can change pages and see drafts. Everyone else, including anonymous visitors, sees only published pages. See How it works.
Connect the real channels#
Out of the box, both tracks hold placeholder or simulated accounts. Before you publish anything real:
- AI Growth Workforce: Social Media → Configuration holds Telegram bots and channels, Facebook pages, Instagram accounts and X accounts. Replace the seeded placeholders with real credentials.
- Social Media Marketing Automation: Social Marketing → Configuration → Accounts. Turn off Test Mode and set the access token only once you have a real integration. See Publishing.
