You can assign granular permissions per social feed, giving you complete control over who can draft, publish, or manage each account—user by user, feed by feed.
Instead of applying the same role across every feed, you can:
- Set permissions per feed (e.g. Facebook Politics, Instagram Trends, Facebook Cooking)
- Assign roles to users or teams for each feed individually
- Use the “All Feeds” option to simplify bulk access across accounts
Whether you want a freelancer to draft only for TikTok, or your social lead to manage all feeds, this model adapts to your real-world team structure with precision.
In addition, there’s a dedicated Social Media Admin role for managing global settings, layouts, connected accounts, and user access across all feeds.
Why assign social feeds?
- Reduce noise in large organizations by showing users only the feeds they need—helping them stay focused and avoid confusion across many connected accounts
- Align users and teams with clear publishing responsibilities
- Control access per feed: draft-only, publish, admin feed settings or full social admin
- Prevent mistakes by restricting who can interact with what
- Simplify onboarding when roles or teams shift

Granular feed permissions: flexible by design
Users and teams can have different roles on different feeds giving you control over access. A user can be:
- Contributor on Facebook Politics
- Manager on Instagram Trends
- Admin on Facebook Cooking
You can also assign an “All Feeds” role at the user or team level. This applies the same permission across all current and future social feeds, unless a specific feed-level role is explicitly set, which will always take priority.
This setup provides clearer ownership, safer workflows, and more flexible permission structures — especially at scale.
How to Assign Permissions in Marfeel Amplify
There are four ways to assign roles to users:
- From a specific feed’s settings A Feed Admin or Social Media Admin can add users directly to a feed and assign roles (e.g. Contributor, Manager, Admin).
- From a team’s settings A Super Admin or User Manager can assign roles to an entire team on one or multiple feeds.
- From a user’s profile A Super Admin or User Manager can view and configure all feed-level roles assigned to an individual user.
- During user creation Feed access and roles can be defined when setting up a new user account.
Permission Resolution
Permissions are applied using the following rules:
- User-level feed permissions override any team-based permissions on the same feed
- If a feed is assigned by multiple teams (with no user-level override), the most permissive (less restrictive) team role applies
- “All Feeds” permissions apply only to feeds without any specific feed-level assignment
- A user-level “All Feeds” permission overrides any team-level “All Feeds” permissions
- If no user-level “All Feeds” exists, the least restrictive team-level “All Feeds” applies
- Any specific feed assignment (user or team) always takes precedence over “All Feeds” permissions
Summary
| Scenario | Permission Applied |
|---|---|
| Feed has a user-level assignment | User-level permission |
| Feed assigned by multiple teams, no user override | Most permissive team-level permission |
| Feed not explicitly assigned to user or teams | User’s “All Feeds” if set, else most permissive team-level “All Feeds” |
| Feed has both specific and “All Feeds” assignment | Specific assignment always wins |
Examples
These examples illustrate how user-level and team-level permissions combine across individual feeds and “All Feeds” assignments.
