A user's role determines the data and functionality the user can access in your Ringba account.
This article contains the following sections:
Available User Roles
Ringba has the following user roles.
Admin
Admin users are the main kind of users in Ringba. These are the people using Ringba on your company's behalf. Admin users have access to all data and all account functions, including:
- Seeing and changing account settings and billing information
- Changing targets, publishers, and campaigns
- Reviewing reporting data for all campaigns
All other user roles have access to a smaller set of functionality and/or data than admin users.
Admin users receive all emails and notifications regarding your Ringba account, unless you request that some notifications are disabled.
Tip: Make sure to set up multiple admin users in your account to ensure someone is always available to receive the notification emails and respond to credit card failures.
You invite admin users from the Settings > Manage Users screen. See Users for step-by-step instructions on inviting an admin user.
Report Access
Report-access users have access to see all data across campaigns but no access to use the other features of Ringba. You might create a report access for someone in your company who only needs visibility into campaign performance.
Report-access users cannot make changes, invite users, or see billing; they have access to reporting functions only. A report-access user's view of the Reporting screen shows everything an admin user sees on that screen, but they cannot view or modify campaign, publishers, or buyer settings.
Some report-access users can export reporting data. You configure whether a report-access user has export permission when you invite the user.
You invite report access users from the Settings > Manage Users screen. See Users for step-by-step instructions on inviting a report-access user.
Publisher User
A publisher user is a representative from your publisher. You create login credentials for this partner so they can access data about their own performance.
Some publisher users can create numbers and number pools in your account. You configure whether the publisher user has this capability when you invite the user.
You invite publisher users from the Manage Publishers screen or by setting up a Publisher Registration form. See Publishers for step-by-step instructions on inviting a publisher user.
Publisher Manager
A publisher manager is a publisher user who has access to data and functionality for multiple publishers who are part of the same user group.
You invite publisher-manager users from the Settings > Manage User Groups screen.
Buyer User
A buyer user is a representative from your buyer that you allow to log in to your Ringba account. A buyer user can access data about the buyer and has limited feature access.
You invite buyer users from the Targets > Manage Buyers screen.
Buyer Manager
A buyer manager is a buyer user who has access to data and functionality for multiple buyers who are part of the same user group. You invite buyer-manager users from the Settings > Manage User Groups screen.
Users with Multiple Roles
When you invite a user to your account, Ringba sends the invitation via email. Users sign in to Ringba with their email address as their username. A user can use the same email address to sign in to multiple different Ringba accounts, and the same user might have different roles in each account.
For example, your buyer might also have a Ringba account of their own. A person from that buyer would use the same email address to sign in to your account as a buyer user or sign in to their own account as an admin user. However, each email address can have only one role within an account.
