Share and manage account access

Learn how to share, manage or remove account access

You can share your account with other people in your business, such as partners or employees, and give them any of four levels of access. You can also remove access at any time. Depending on their level of account access, buyers can

  • configure preferred inventory, and set QPS and budget caps for it
  • use troubleshooting, and reporting tools
  • configure account settings
Understanding different access levels

Here are the four levels of access you can assign, ordered from lowest level of access to highest:

API only

  • Can receive account alerts, reports, and other notifications via email
  • Can access the Buyer REST API
  • Can't sign in to the Authorized Buyers UI to access the account

View only

  • Can receive notification emails
  • Can browse the Marketplace, Troubleshooting, and Reporting tabs

View and negotiate

  • Can receive notification emails
  • Can view, edit, and manage any part of an account 
  • Can't give account access or change another person's access level

Administrator

  • Can receive notification emails
  • Can view, edit, and manage any part of an account 
  • Can give account access and change another person's access level
Giving account access

To access your account, people must have a Google Account and can't already have access to another Authorized Buyers account.

To give access to your account:

  1. Sign in to Authorized Buyers.

  2. Click Admin and then Account users.

  3. Click New user or click Link service account to create a service account.

  4. Enter the email address of the person with whom you want to share your account. Authorized Buyers keeps track of who makes changes to an Authorized Buyers account and uses this information to identify who made changes.

  5. From the "Role" drop-down menu in the "New user "window, select the access level you want this person to have. 

  6. Click Save.
  7. After the person accepts your email invitation by clicking “Accept Invite” in the email, they will have access to your Authorized Buyers account. If a service account email was entered, access will be given immediately without having to accept an email invitation. 
Removing account access
  1. Sign in to Authorized Buyers.

  2. Click Admin and then Account users.
  3. Find the user that you would like to remove and select the checkbox. You can select multiple users at once.

  4. Click Deactivate (moves the user to an inactive state) or Delete (removes the user completely).

  5. Click OK to confirm or Cancel to retain users.
