OpenX Adds New User Management Controls for Better Granularity
By Justin on Jul 11, 2008 in News
OpenX the, open source ad serving solution, anounced that expanded user permission levels will meet the needs of advertisers looking for deeper integration with their publishers and agencies that require trafficking privledges for users not normally entitled to such functionality under previous versions of OpenX.
Introduced in version 2.5, currently in beta, the following functionality has been added.
- Each user will be given their own account rather than having mulitple users piggyback on a single account.
- Control visibility and updatability via individual permissions set the user level rather than the publisher or advertiser level.
- Audit history of individual account permissions to see who can do what and when they were able to do it.
- Allow users to switch between multiple accounts so they are presented with different functionality upon log in.
I’ve used OpenX previously for another site but will be setting up a new instance to support nichebuilder.net so I’ll be digging into these new features soon.
