User Permissions

The organization roles and the Ad Server, Console and Audience access levels available to media owner users, and what each can do.

The following permission levels are available for media owner users within Kevel. Each user has an organization role, and an access level for each product on each network they can use. Organization admins set both in Settings > User Management. See User Management.

Kevel Audience

Audience access is set for each network. An organization admin chooses a network and an access level, Read-only or Editor, for each user. A user without Audience access on any network can sign in to Kevel but cannot open the Audience dashboard. Being an organization admin does not give access to Audience.

Where one Audience environment serves more than one network, the most restrictive access level across the networks where the user has Audience access applies. A user who is an Editor on one network and Read-only on another is Read-only in the Audience dashboard.

  • View every Audience page, including the User Explorer, orders, segments, user attributes, destinations, triggers, predictions, event logs, and the RFM Map
  • The Audience dashboard rejects any change requested by a Read-only user
