Understanding User Permissions
User permissions allow buyers to do specific actions and tasks in Basis. An organization manages individual user permissions. Your actions are available based on the assigned permissions.
Without permissions, you have base access to Basis. You can view (read-only) the My Organization and User Settings along with the communications, directory, initiative, campaign, and media plan information in Basis. Additional actions such as sending messages, adding account team members, creating comments on line items, receiving private emails, and editing notes are also available.
Different permissions give you access to different features. An enabled permission gives you access to specified actions and configurations for Basis. At least one member of your organization has permission to control User Management. This team member enables and disables the permission types for other team members.
The permissions are configured under the Users tab by name under the My Organization. Your own Permissions are also visible under My Settings.
