Den Admins versus Mane Admins
Learn the difference between Den and Mane Admins in Content Lion. Who controls the whole organization versus who manages specific projects, users, and content environments.
👤 Understanding Your Roles
Managing Content Lion involves two key leadership roles — Den Administrator and Mane Administrator. Knowing the difference helps you navigate permissions, responsibilities, and workflows efficiently.
Key Differences
Aspect | Den Administrator | Mane Administrator |
Scope | Manages the entire organization (Den level) | Manages one specific Mane (application/project) |
Access | Controls all Manes within the Den | Controls users and content only within their Mane |
Capabilities | Create, edit, delete Manes; add/remove users globally | Add/remove users only in their Mane; manage permissions within that Mane |
Examples | Jessie sets up multiple Manes for Austin Farm Sanctuary, assigns Mane Admins | Sam manages content and users in the AustinFarm.com Mane only |
Why it matters
- Den Admins oversee the big picture, ensuring all projects run smoothly and users are assigned correctly.
- Mane Admins focus on the day-to-day management of their specific project environment.
✈️ Quick Guide for New Users
Remember the metaphor back in Glossary:
- If you’re a Den Admin: You’ll manage everything across all Manes, like an airport control tower overseeing all flights.
- If you’re a Mane Admin: You’re the captain of your plane, managing the crew and the flight within your specific application.
