How to connect my account to my client's or agency's account

Mathias Freudendahl Updated by Mathias Freudendahl

Connecting a premium client and agency accounts will allow agency users to work on the premium client account. This means that the agency can start working actively with reporting for the premium client account they are connected to. It is also easier to structure and manage how data is accessed and by whom, since you can manage exactly who from your organization that has access to a specific account. You can read more about how to manage your users’ permissions and more about your account structure.

Note that you need to have either the user role as ‘Organisational admin’ or ‘Account manager’ to be able to connect accounts and manage user access. Learn more about user roles here.

Connecting accounts from the admin page

Go to the Admin’s page (admin.audienceproject.com), where you can get the overview of all accounts. You can see the following information:

  • Name of the account
  • Products in use
  • Users of the account
  • Account type.

If you click on a specific account, you will get specific information about the users that have access to this account. You can manage the user rights, as well as add and remove users from the ‘users’ tab. Read more about managing user roles here.

You can also get an overview of incoming requests, sent requests and already connected accounts, by selected the tab clients (for agencies) or agency (for clients).

Additionally, you can find the specific account ID on the ‘overview’ tab, which is needed for connecting accounts. 

Connecting accounts as a client

From your admin overview, select the account you would like to connect to. Then, select the ‘agency’ tab and click on ‘invite agency’. 

To connect to another account, you will need the account ID for the account you want to connect to. That needs to be provided by the agency, and can be found on the account page on AudienceProject Platform. 

 

Once the request is sent, you can see the list and status of your requests on the ‘agency’ tab.

Account connection requests can be sent by both admins and account managers, but only admins can accept incoming requests. This is to make sure that only the needed users within an agency will have access to client data. Accounts managers will only be able to work with clients that they are account managers for.

The agency needs to accept the request on the AudienceReport platform so the accounts can be linked. By linking the accounts the agency will have the following functionalities:

  • Create, edit and delete reports
  • View item data from all existing channels (e.g. campaigns, line items)
  • Add new connections to external channels (e.g. integrations)
  • Manage which users have access to the account

Connecting accounts as an agency

If your client already has an AudienceReport account you will need to connect to the account by following the step below. If your client doesn’t have an account on the AudienceProject platform, follow these instructions to create an account first. This client account will be automatically linked to your agency account.

From your admin overview, select the account you would like to connect. Then, select the ‘client’ tab and click on ‘invite client’.

To connect to another account, you will need the account ID for the account you want to connect to. That needs to be provided by the client, and can be found on the account page on AudienceProject Platform.

  

When selecting the client’s account, you will be asked to select which agency user should have access to the client account. You can either select to include the entire agency, or select specific users.

Account connection requests can be sent by both admins and account managers, but only admins can accept incoming requests. This is to make sure that only the needed users within an agency will have access to client data. Accounts managers will only be able to work with clients that they are account managers for.

Once the request is sent, your client needs to accept it through the AudienceProject platform, so the accounts can be linked. 

You can at all times see your client’s connections status on the ‘clients’ tab.

Once an agency account has been linked to a client account the agency users that has been granted access will be able to perform the below actions on the client account:
