Adminship: roles & permissions

  • Steward (you): customizes the look (Organization & Custom plans), creates and curates feeds, invites and manages members, sets moderation rules.
  • Members: read feeds, post, follow, build relationships via the community client.
  • Moderators: stewards can bring in moderators as the community grows, working the same queue with the same tools. How many you can add is capped by plan (see Pricing); you stay in control of who holds the role.

Both stewards and members connect through the same underlying community account on Blacksky's server (Free/Community/Collective plans), or via @your.address on your own data server (Organization/Custom plans). Feeds, lists, starter packs, members, and posts all live under that one account — never in a private Acorn database — so Acorn is writing to (and the client is reading from) infrastructure your community can always take with it.
