Use this interactive demo to learn how to configure team member permissions across social channels in Buffer.

Quick summary

Buffer's Team Permissions feature lets account admins assign access levels to individual team members on a per-channel basis. In just a few clicks inside Buffer Settings, you can control exactly who can publish, view, or manage each connected social media account.


Steps

  1. Log in to Buffer, navigate to Settings, then click Team.
  2. Choose the account you want to manage permissions for.
  3. Select the social media channel you want to assign to the team member.
  4. Select the appropriate access level for that team member.
  5. Click Save to apply and update their permissions.

📌 Why this matters

Managing team member permissions in Buffer gives marketing teams precise control over who can create, schedule, or publish content on each connected social media channel. This prevents unauthorized posts and reduces risk, especially for brands managing multiple accounts across platforms like Instagram, LinkedIn, and X. Granular access levels mean agencies and in-house teams can onboard collaborators, freelancers, or clients without exposing full account control. Buffer's permission system is essential for scaling social media operations securely and efficiently.
