Prepare permissions, roles and security controls before authorising a social-management platform. This guide explains the workflow, the decisions a business still needs to make and the practical limitations to consider.

Confirm account ownership

Only an owner or authorised manager should connect an account. Record which brand, business and team are responsible for the connection.

Use secure authorisation

Use provider-approved methods such as OAuth or application tokens when implemented. Never send social passwords, advertising passwords, API secrets or private tokens through public forms.

Review permissions

Understand whether the connection permits publishing, analytics, inbox access or advertising. Grant only the permissions required for the intended workflow and remove access when no longer needed.

Limitations to remember

Platform APIs, reviews, permissions and account eligibility may change without UZZU controlling them.

Conclusion

A secure connection begins with clear authority, limited permissions and a known disconnection process.
