Billing user roles and permissions

Campaign Manager 360 offers self-service billing management functionality. Any user with billing permissions can access billing functions such as editing billing information, viewing fees and rates, and downloading fee reports and invoices.

Depending on the billing user role, the user may also have the ability to enable billing access to other users in Campaign Manager 360. Unless explicitly granted additional Trafficking permissions, billing users have read-only access to advertisers and campaigns.

Request billing access

Any Campaign Manager 360 user can request billing access in their account:

Go to Admin > Billing.
Click the Request billing access button. A notification email will be sent to the people who can authorize billing access for the account.

If you don't have billing access and don't see the "Request billing access" button on the Billing page, Google may not be able to identify the appropriate authorizers for the account. In this case, contact support for assistance.
