Control: roles, moderation, brand safety, and guidelines
Control is where you decide who can do what, what content is allowed, and how your inventory is described to buyers; every other product reads from it rather than keeping its own rules. Reading time about 6 minutes.
Roles
Business Account roles (see Invite your team and assign roles) cover your team. Community roles cover creators and partners: Host, Contributor, Member creator (a member whose posts go through moderation), Partner (can place content in named groups). Buyers aren't a community role: they see and purchase your packages from their own Business Account. A person can hold different roles in different communities.
Moderation
- Baselines: Standard or Strict, each editable by category.
- Actions: hold, remove, allow with label; per content source.
- Queue: SLA timers, assignment, bulk actions, appeal flow for creators.
- Signals: classifier score, keyword and topic blocklists, member reports, partner flags.
Brand safety profile
A description of your inventory, aligned with industry brand safety standards, attached to every placement. Buyers, package listings (see Packages: sell outcomes to brands and demand partners), AdCP product objects (see AdCP: make your inventory discoverable to AI buyer agents), and ad server line items (see Programmatic: Genuin Ad Server or your partner ad server) all carry it. A stricter profile narrows what content can run, and a looser one widens it; the profile informs how buyers value your inventory, while prices are floors you set in Monetize (see Floor Pricing and Yield Rules).
Guidelines
Your community guidelines (see Content policies and community guidelines) are shown to every creator and member on first post and on every appeal. Edit them under Control → Guidelines; versions are kept.
Player controls and feed settings
Per placement or per page type: autoplay, sound, captions default, share and follow buttons, comment visibility, and the personalization parameters Maya may use (see Personalization and relevance: how Maya ranks every feed). Changes apply without a code change.
How it runs
What this article describes is built from your brand context and the crawl, shown rendered, and applied on your confirmation; later changes arrive as proposals in the same shape.
Support. Help is available 24/7 from Brand Control Center (BCC) and from every page of these docs. Ask in plain language; when a person is needed, an account manager, developer, or Ops engineer joins the same thread and stays on it until it is resolved. Every Business Account owner has this on every plan (see 24/7 Octo support: how Octo brings in account managers, developers, and Ops).
API & SDK
Access: the calls in the table are the proposed Business Account API (see Business Account API: provisioning, OAuth, and the resource map), authenticated with a key scoped to the account and a role or an OAuth client acting for it; every confirmation in this article becomes a proposal you can approve by API (POST /proposals/{proposalId}:approve). Live today, the server API under /api/thirdparty authenticates with a gn-access-token (see Generate an access token), and Live API today and the Business Account API roadmap maps what is live to what is proposed.
