Social Approval Mode Risk Map

Compare the documented approval mode with the team's intended publishing boundary before changing any settings. Preparation only, not an account action.

What to provide

Dated workspace-settings export; intended approvers; publish-permission roster; documented mode; owner policy.

How it works

1. Record workspace and policy versions; do not infer mode from an approval icon.
2. Classify no approval, optional, required or multi-level using supplied settings; missing settings stay unknown.
3. Compare the policy with whether unapproved content can proceed under that mode.
4. List mismatches and the person who must decide; do not change permissions or approve a post.

The output

workspace | actual_mode | intended_gate | evidence | bypass_risk | owner_decision

Worked fictional example

Fictional agency requires client sign-off but workspace uses optional approval. Flag policy mismatch even when a post has a green approval icon. Missing settings prevent a mode verdict.

Checks and limits

Keep source versions and original values. Unknowns stay unknown. Use qualified review for regulated, legal or hiring decisions. No live account compatibility test, send, share, schedule, ledger change or payment is authorized.
