Manage user permissions with permission groups

How permission groups replace roles

Adjust updates the permissions model by introducing user permission groups instead of roles. Account admins can define granular permissions and add each user to one or more permission groups.

• Grant granular permissions for product areas, data access, and link access
• Assign multiple permission groups to the same user
• Add multiple users to the same permission group
• Automatic migration of existing custom roles (Custom-Editor, Custom-Reader, and Custom-Custom) into corresponding permission groups

Glossary

• Permission group: A configurable set of permissions that can include limitations for product areas, data access, and link access. Users can be added to one or more permission groups.
• App access: A permission group setting that defines which apps are accessible to the permission group and affects subsequent permission group settings.
• Product area access: A permission group setting that defines access to specific product areas (for example, Read or Write access to Audiences).
• Data access: A permission group setting that defines which metrics a permission group can access, including optional limitations using filters.
• Link access: A permission group setting that defines whether a permission group can access links, including optional limitations using filters.
