Enable the global connection for your social networks on Jetpack Social

After you add a new connection, you have the option to make the connection “global,” meaning it can also be used by any other user on your site who has the proper user permissions to publish posts. You can make the connection available to all users by following the steps:

1. Access the connections panel.
2. Use the drop-down arrow from the right sidebar near the connection you want to share.
3. Check the Mark the connection as shared option.

By turning the connection status to “global”, other users can share their posts on the social network. Note that these users don’t have access to anything else; for example, they cannot access the social network account directly.
