Access to placements

Assistants who have access to the Monetization tab can work with ad units of the Yandex Advertising Network that are owned by the administrator. After the assistant links their Adfox account with Yandex ID, the administrator needs to set up the assistant's access to their sites in the Yandex Advertising Network. This lets the assistant add and edit ad units on the administrator's sites. The access is configured on the Users → Assistants →  Access to YAN platforms tab.

If the administrator already has some Yandex Advertising Network units linked to Adfox placements, the assistant will see these units in the Yandex Advertising Network interface, but won't be able to edit them. They also won't be able to add new ad units to those placements. To enable such options for the assistant, set up permissions for them.

Selecting banner types

Select the banner types that the assistant will be able to add to campaigns. To do this:

  1. On the Users → Assistants tab, click  Used banner types next to the assistant account.

  2. The Banner types tab opens. Select the desired banner types and click Change.

Access to targetings

You can set up assistant's access to a specific targeting type and restrict targeting settings available to them. To go to the targeting settings, on the Users → Assistants page, click  Targeting next to the assistant's account.
