My Account

An account is an entity within OpenX that 'owns' various other entities, such as campaigns, banners, websites, zones, and even other accounts. OpenX has four types of account:

  • Administrator
  • Manager
  • Advertiser
  • Website

These account types have the following permissions:

"X" = permission allowed / "-" = permission denied

An account can have one or more users linked to it, and a user can be linked to one or more accounts.

In the My Account tab you can view the account settings and user log for your current role. You can only view the account settings for the role you are currently logged in as, regardless of how many roles you have.
