Assign social account and Inbox 2.0 permissions

Social account permissions let you choose who has access to a social account, and who can manage and publish content to social accounts in your organization. You can use these permissions to control off-brand or accidental communications by assigning specific accounts to teams or members. Social account permissions also determine who has access to Inbox 2.0 features in your organization and who can reply to conversations. Social account permissions are set for each social account that a member has access to.
