Users, Teams and Roles
Users are persons who have rights to perform certain actions (as defined by Roles) to certain parts of content (as defined by Teams). Here is how to create a new user with the right privileges.
How to create a user.
Users
To create a user, go to https://admin.adnuntius.com/admin/users and click "New" in the upper right corner.
Example user.
Email address, Name and Display name: Apply the user's email address and name. Display name is the name that will be displayed in the upper right corner of the user interface.
Adnuntius automatically sends an email inviting the user to the network, and passwords are created automatically. Administrators can change users' password later if needed, but password changes will not be sent to users, so make sure that you notify users about any new passwords you create.
Please note that, depending on your privileges, some of the elements explained on this page may not be visible to you.
Add an external reference (optional) if you want to match the user with the same user in another system. For instance, if John Doe is registered in another system with user ID 123456, then you can add 123456 as an external reference in Adnuntius. This way you can easily recognize two different entries as the same user across two different systems.
Roles: A user needs to be assigned with at least two types of roles; a network role and one team role per team. You will find more information on teams and roles further down, but in short:
- A network role (the top role in the user interface, in light gray) determines the actions the user will be able to perform across your entire Adnuntius account. this includes advertisers, earnings accounts, layouts, report templates, users, tiers, custom events, roles and teams.
- A team role determines the actions that a user will be able to perform to content that is team-specific, which includes orders, line items, creatives, sites, ad units, report schedules and reports.
You can also switch between Adnuntius Advertising, Adnuntius Data and Adnuntius Designer. If you click Adnuntius Designer you can assign a role to the user for the Adnuntius Designer application (please note that you may have to create a role first).
If you want to create a user that has no network permissions, you can create a network role where all permissions are unchecked (and call it for instance "no permissions"). This way, when you add a user with this network role, they cannot do anything to the network, only to the team(s) they're invited to.
In Admin > Network you can choose to show or hide sections of the user interface that users do not have permissions to edit.
Teams
Teams let you connect users to a set of sites. This feature allows you to design your organization and account for, for example, multiple sales and ad operations teams that should have access to different sets of inventory. While Roles lets you decide the actions that users can take to that inventory, Teams determines what inventory they can perform those actions on.
To create a team, go to https://admin.adnuntius.com/admin/teams and click "New" in the upper right corner.
Example team
Name, description (optional) and external reference (optional): Give the team a name and description of your choice. You can also add an external reference if you want to match the team with the same entity in another system.
You can design multiple teams with the same sites under them. In other words, Adnuntius supports a many-to-many relationship between teams, where a site can belong to several teams.
Sites: Add the set of sites you want to put into the team. Once you've chosen one or more sites, and user added to this team will have access to the sites. The actions they can perform to those sites however, will be determined by the role that you assign to the user for this team.
When you create an Order in Adnuntius, this order will be registered with a team, and therefore determine the sites this order to run on. In this example the user is part of 4 teams, and can therefore choose between 4 teams when creating an order.
Roles
While Teams determines the inventory a user will have access to, Roles determines what actions that user will be able to take to that inventory. Please note that in this section we will show you roles for Adnuntius Advertising only. Click onwards here to see the roles that you can grant users in Adnuntius Designer and Adnuntius Data.
Creating a role
To create a role, go to Admin > Roles and in the upper right corner click "New". Start by giving your role a Name and description (optional).
Application lets you choose between Advertising (Adnuntius Advertising) and Banner (Adnuntius Designer). If you choose Banner you will see that there are no more choices, as Adnuntius Designer has one role only. The choices below are for Adnuntius Advertising.
Role type, scope and permissions determine the actions that users will be able to take. Below you will find how each combination determine the priviliges that each choice will give a user, split into internal roles and external roles.
- Internal Roles are for employees or trusted partners who should be allowed to access the inventory you've created.
- External roles means that no users will not have access to any of the content you have created.
