Authentications permissions affect what actions are available in the Create Activations and Edit Activations dialogs. Learn how to access these settings in Setting Policy-based Audience Studio Permissions Using TD Console.
| Permissions | Activations in Audience Studio |
|---|---|
| The user can create, copy, edit, run, and delete activations.
|
| The user can view all authentications. The user cannot create, update, or delete authentications.
|
| Manage Own Authentications : A user can view, use, edit, and delete any authentication created by this user.
Allow View for Specific Authentications : A user can view and use selected authentications as specified in the drop-down box.
|
| The user can't create activation and receives an error message.
Users can't access authentications in the drop-down menu in the edit activations window, even if they have full control of that folder. |
A user's access to activations depends on the master segment owner’s authentication permissions and their own authentication access combined. For example, in a case where the master segment owner has no authentications permissions, even a user with full authentications permissions will not be allowed to create, edit, run, or delete an activation for that master segment.
| Action | Owner + User Permissions | User Access |
|---|---|---|
Create Activation | Owner - Authentication: View or Full User - Authentication: View | User can create activations. |
Create Activation | Owner - Authentication: Manage Own Authentication User - Authentication: View | User can create activations for which they have received access. |
| Create Activation |
| User can create activations for which they have received access. |
| Create Activation |
| UI prevents user from creating activation if Owner authentication permissions is none. |
