User Management for Hosted Accounts

Updated: Feb 2, 2025

Users on hosted accounts can have one of the three roles/permissions described below:

AdminAdmin users can manage all users and permissions for their account, add, remove and update pixels, and view all applications associated with their account.
StandardStandard users can make changes to their assigned data sources.
View OnlyView only users can view data sources and associated data, and some applications, but cannot make changes.

Every account must have at least one admin user added when the account is created. You can then add standard or view only users, or run the account with only an admin user.

The account administrator can manage the account users from the Users menu under Account settings.
