Configure admin permissions

Go to SettingsRoles & Permissions to define what admins can do:
  • Member management (approve, remove, ban)
  • Content moderation (edit, delete posts)
  • Channel management (create, edit, archive)
  • Analytics and settings access

Troubleshooting

  • Check email addresses for typos
  • Ask members to check spam folders
  • Try using an invite link instead
Go to SettingsChannels and verify channel permissions allow new members.
Go to SettingsAdmin Roles and ensure the permission is enabled. Some features may be owner-only.

Start small: Begin with 10-20 engaged members to test your onboarding, set the culture, and identify early champions before scaling.
