Accessing Console as a Media Owner

Kevel uses a unified authentication system that provides media owner users and advertiser users with separate login experiences. This page covers how to log in, how to enable SSO for your team, and where to manage users.

Logging in as a media owner

The Console login page is for advertiser users only. As a media owner user, click Are you a media owner? Log in here on the Console login page.

The Console sign-in page with username and password fields, the Sign in button, a Forgot password link, and the Are you a media owner? Log in here link.

If an advertiser lands on the media owner login page, they can click "Are you an advertiser? Log in here" to reach the correct page.

What the media owner sign-in looks like

  1. Enter your work email address. Select Continue.
  2. Let Kevel find your organization. Kevel identifies your organization from the email address and continues sign-in with the method your organization has set up. If Kevel does not recognize the address, select Enter your organization code instead. See Ad Server SSO for how the organization code works.
  3. Accept the terms if asked. If your organization has not yet accepted the Kevel terms, you are asked to accept them before you continue.
⚠️

Old Console credentials no longer work for media owners

If you used to sign in to Console as a media owner user with a username and password on the Console login page, that no longer works. Use the media owner login above. Console shows a general sign-in error rather than saying why.

SSO for media owner teams

SSO (Single Sign-On) is available for media owner users. When enabled, your team members authenticate through your organization's identity provider rather than managing separate Kevel credentials.

Switching between business managers

If you operate more than one Console business manager (for example, separate environments for different banner stores, or for dev and production), you can switch between them while remaining logged in.

See details here: Switch between business managers

User management

Media owner user management lives in the Ad Server UI. See details here: User Management

Advertiser user management remains in the Console UI and is unaffected.

A note on user management locations

Media owner and advertiser users are managed in separate places by design. The Ad Server UI handles your media owner team, while the Console UI handles advertiser users.

It's worth making sure the right people on your team know where to go for each user type.

For details on roles, permissions, and team setup, see the user management and user permissions documentation.
