When using the various Ad Manager web interfaces, users need to be created in the system. This allows you to control access to data within the system.

Please note that you only need to create one account and one web role for apps like the billposter. Each user is added as a Web User.

Web Account

A web account is required to log into Ad Manager's web interfaces. To create a new web account, go to File - New - Web Account (you will need to scroll to the end). Enter the name "All" then Save the record.

Web User

A web user needs to be assigned to the account. While in the Web Account, go to the "Users" tab and click the New button. From here, enter the user name. Next, click the "Change Password" button, and enter the password twice, then click OK. Save the web user and close.

Web Role

5.7.4 and later

You need to import roles by importing an application manifest. Contact Dot2Dot Communications for assistance.

5.7.3 and earlier

A role called "Ad Manager Web User" needs to exist for a user to be set up with the appropriate access. To create a new web role, go to File - New - Web Role (you will need to scroll to the end). Enter the name "Ad Manager Web User" and Save. Go to the Users tab and click the New button. From here, click OK to see a list of web users that have been created. Select the web user to add and click OK, then save and close the Web Role.


Your web user can now log into the web interface with the username and password you created.
