Upcoming changes to login and user management

To provide a more frictionless UI experience, we are consolidating login and user management for the Ad Server, Audience, and Console. These upcoming changes are a direct result of user feedback regarding ease of use and the need for a more unified interface. Changes will roll out throughout March 2026.

These updates will introduce:

A new centralized login URL (https://auth.kevel.com/login) for media owners with SSO and email / password options
A unified user management interface to manage media owner users across all Kevel products
An updated navigation and UI consistency across products, which will be further expanded in upcoming months

Check out the sections below for a rundown of what will change for your use case. Visit updated user management and user permissions documentation for more details.
