    FWIW, the needs here should be met by ECA integration, which will provide more controller over which user is posting: https://www.drupal.org/project/social_post_twitter/issues/3452996 πŸ’¬ How to use with ECA module Active

    The ECA plugin in this referenced issue allows for configuring which user posts, and ECA integrates with tokens, so you could say current user, or hard-code a value, like 1. And of course there are more possibilities too.

    On a separate note, I did add functionality to Social Post Facebook and Social Post Mastodon regarding authorizing posting for a sitewide account. This included a new form route in the module's settings. This is a bit of a tangent, but I like this pattern because it allows you to use these social post modules in a way where you can not allow any users to add an account to their user, and be certain that there is only one account without having to make an individual role or anything. But it also preserves the originally intended use of one account per user.
