Understanding Access Types: What are Users, Groups and Roles?

Manage users, groups, and roles in your DIRECTV Ads Manager account

Managing users in your DIRECTV Ads Manager account is quick and easy. DIRECTV Ads Manager now offers organizations complete control over who can view, edit, and manage campaigns, reporting, and account settings.

There are three key areas of benefit: users, groups and roles.

Users

Add users to your Organization by adding their email address:

  • Assign users to a group

  • Send Invites

  • Manage users

Groups

There are 2 types of Groups:

Default Groups:

  • Admin

  • Member

  • Viewer

For a complete breakdown of a Group's permissions navigate to: Organization > Groups > Select Group

Custom Groups

Custom Groups are useful for limiting a particular user's access to specific advertiser(s). Note: This feature is only available for Agency Org Types.

To create a custom group:

  • Groups > Create Permission Group

  • Name group / provide description

  • Select the advertiser(s) this group's users will be able to access

  • Save Group

  • Invite User — you can either navigate to the Group and invite user, or you can invite from the Users page and select the required Group

Roles & Permissions

Each user is assigned one of four roles. Each role represents a set of permissions.
