Summary
To make it easier for you to designate the right role for the right user, we’re updating the user role options for all read & write users. You’ll see the following changes coming to Display & Video 360 in the coming weeks:
- Introducing new admin and standard roles. The admin role will help you determine who in your organization needs to be a true administrator with user management and billing access, versus who only needs access to account settings and campaign management. Learn more below
- Migrating existing read & write users to the new roles. All read & write users will be migrated to these new roles. Learn more below
All users will be migrated to roles that reflect their current access levels, so no users will lose or gain any permissions as a result of this change.
With these expanded options available, we recommend reviewing what roles you may want to assign across your organization in the future.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be introducing changes to the user management experience in Display & Video 360 that make it easier for you to designate the right role for the right user in your organization.
Introducing admin and standard user roles
We’re introducing two new user roles in Display & Video 360: admin and standard. These user roles will be available at the following levels:
| Access level | User role | Permissions |
|---|---|---|
| Partner | Admin |
Partner-level admin users are considered the true administrator of a partner account. These users have full read/write abilities across the entire partner. They can create new users and edit user access, and they have full access to all billing features. This role has the same permissions as the current partner-level read & write user role. |
| Partner | Standard |
Partner-level standard users have full read/write abilities to account settings and campaign objects across the partner. They can see other users in the User management section but won’t be able to add new users or edit user access. They cannot access billing features. |
| Advertiser | Standard |
Advertiser-level standard users have full read/write abilities to all campaign objects across the advertiser. They can see other users in the User management section but won’t be able to add new users or edit user access. They cannot access billing features. |
Migrating existing read & write users to new admin and standard roles
What’s changing: The admin and standard user roles described above will replace the current read & write user role. All existing read & write users will see updates to the name of their user role as described below:
| Access level | Current user role | New user role | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Partner | Read & write | Admin | Current partner-level read & write users will see an update to their user role from “Read & write” to “Admin.” |
| Advertiser | Read & write | Standard | Current advertiser-level read & write users will see an update to their user role from “Read & write” to “Standard.” |
These updates will automatically go live to all users in the coming weeks. All users will be migrated to roles that reflect their current access levels, so no users will lose or gain any permissions as a result of this change.
There are no changes to any of the other user roles in Display & Video 360 at this time.
What you should do to prepare: We recommend reviewing access across your organization to determine who should remain partner-level admin users. You may want to move team members who don’t need user management or billing access to the partner-level standard role. Partner-level admin roles will be able to make this change from the User management section. You can contact your dedicated account manager if you need guidance on handling this process in bulk.
