{{Help |Glossary=*}}An employee of [[Linden Lab]]. Linden Lab employees are referred to as “Lindens” because most of them have that last name for their Second Life accounts. Some also have test accounts with the name ''Tester'' or bot accounts with the name ''LLQABot''. Lindens who specialize in the [http://community.secondlife.com community platform] have the last name ''Moderator''.

Lindens can have different administrative abilities in Second Life which exceed the abilities of regular Residents. Read more about it in the [[god mode]] article. All Lindens are asked to adhere to the [[Tao of Linden]], many are hosting [[office hours]], have houses in [[Linden Village]] and are giving their own [[Linden Bear]]s to interested Residents.
 
== Non-Lindens hired by Linden Lab ==
 
There are also [[Resident]]s with the surname ''Mole''. These are paid builders in the [[Linden Department of Public Works]]. However, these aren't normally referred to with the term "Linden", since they don't have any administrative powers.
 
A group of non-Lindens ''with'' administrative powers are members of the outsourced ''Distributed Network Operations Center'' (DNOC). Linden Lab hired the company [http://www.comsys.com Comsys] to monitor the Second Life [[grid]] and to troubleshoot [[region]] issues. These Residents have the last name Comsys.<ref> [https://blogs.secondlife.com/community/technology/blog/2009/05/28/grid-monitoring-and-support 2009-05-28 Grid Monitoring and Support]</ref>
 
Residents with the last name Cascadeo, are working for a [http://www.cascadeo.com/ company with the same name], which is hosting the [[Issue Tracker]], as well as this wiki.
 
Those with the last names Scout or StarTek are assigned to support issues.
 
== Shared Accounts ==
There are several shared Linden [[account]]s for special purposes.
