How to Assign the Proper Sub-Account User Role

How to Assign the Proper Sub-Account User Role

OptinMonster makes it easy to create and assign Sub-Accounts to allow colleagues and clients to access your account.

In this article, you’ll learn more about sub-account user roles.

Before You Start

Here are some things to know before you begin:

Sub-Account User Roles

OptinMonster provides multiple user roles which control the abilities of each Sub-Account. Learn more about each user role available in the following sections.

Viewer

The Viewer Sub-Account user role is the most limited. Viewers can:

  • View, but not make changes to, campaigns only for assigned websites and folders.

Viewer accounts are good for those who need to see the campaign, but not edit it, like clients.

Author

The Author Sub-Account user role provides mid-level access. Authors can:

  • View, create, edit, and duplicate campaigns they have created, but only for assigned websites and folders.
  • View campaigns, integrations, and analytics for assigned websites and folders.
  • (Optional) can be granted access to Monster Leads for any campaign that is assigned to the user.
  • (Optional) can be granted access to specific Saved Blocks and/or Saved Rulesets.
  • Cannot publish or pause campaigns.

Author accounts are best suited for those who will do creation and design work, but not make the final decisions, like a designer or an intern.

Manager

The Manager Sub-Account user role provides high-level access. Managers can:

  • View, create, edit, duplicate, delete, publish, and pause campaigns only for assigned websites and folders.
  • Create, edit, and delete integrations and folders they’ve created and can access and edit those they have been assigned (including analytics integrations).
  • (Optional) can be granted access to Monster Leads for any campaign that is assigned to the user.
  • (Optional) can be granted access to specific Saved Blocks and/or Saved Rulesets.

Manager accounts are good for those making decisions about the settings, like a site manager or marketing lead.

Admin

The Admin Sub-Account user role provides the highest-level access. Admins have full access and permissions for everything, except suspending or canceling the OptinMonster account, and editing owner information.

Troubleshooting

Why do some of my Sub-Account users automatically have access to all Saved Blocks and Saved Rulesets?

We released an update on March 18, 2022 that allowed account Owners to grant permission for Author and Manager user roles to have access to specific Saved Blocks and Saved Rulesets. Prior to that update all users automatically had access to all Saved Blocks and Saved Rulesets.

If the Sub-Account user was created before March 18, 2022 no access was revoked with the update to user role permissions so they will still have access to all Saved Blocks and Saved Rulesets unless you update their Sub-Account permissions.

OptinMonster has transformed our business. Before integrating their optins, our clients saw a 2% conversion rate from web traffic, which is slightly above the standard for their industry. With the integration of OptinMonster’s lightbox popup, exit-intent technology, split testing, and other tools, our client’s conversion rates soared by an unprecedented 500%. They attracted substantially more customers while spending less on digital advertising. Their success propelled them to the top of their markets, outperforming national chains and other medical spas with much bigger marketing budgets. Our client’s success in their market has distinguished us in our own. We are now one of the most sought-after marketing firms in the industry of aesthetic medicine. We know that the integration of OptinMonster, more than any other tool or marketing strategy, has supported this growth and achievement.

Through OptinMonster’s exit-intent popups, we have more than doubled our sales conversion rate. Best of all is the compound effect of using OptinMonster over a long period of time—more conversions mean more customers, which means more word of mouth.
