User-generated content

You can manage the content people create in Glean, such as Answers, Announcements, Collections, Go Links, and Pins, from the User-generated content section of the Admin console. Each content type has its own tab, and each tab shows all content of one type generated by users across your organization.

To open it, go to the Admin console and in the left navigation select User-generated content under Platform.

Roles and permissions

Admin and Super Admin roles can view and manage all content types across the organization. They can also delegate a single content type by granting a Moderator permission to specific members or to IdP groups. For example, an Answers Moderator can manage every Answer without holding a broader admin role. Assign these permissions from Admin console → Users & permissions → User roles. For the full permission matrix, see User Roles.

A moderator sees all content within their permitted scope. A Pins Moderator, for instance, can manage every public Pin, but private Pins that other people own stay hidden. Members without a moderator permission continue to manage only their own content.

Manage each content type

This table describes what you can manage for each content type:
