Mastery of DV360 empowers marketing professionals to unlock unparalleled efficiency and effectiveness in their advertising endeavors, tapping into the platform’s extensive capabilities to drive meaningful engagement and maximize campaign ROI.
Understanding DV360 Access Levels
At the core of DV360’s utility is its system of access levels, designed to cater to the diverse needs of teams engaged in programmatic advertising campaigns. These levels range from Reporting-only, which permits basic access to campaign data and reports, to Admin, which grants comprehensive control over all platform functionalities, including user management and billing adjustments.
| DV360 access levels | Role description |
|---|---|
| Admin | Reserved for partner-level users, Admins wield comprehensive control, managing users, and accessing billing, in addition to standard user capabilities. |
| Standard | Standard users can craft and oversee campaigns, manage creatives, audiences, Floodlight activities, inventory, exchanges, and generate reports, providing a broad operational scope. |
| Read Only | Tailored for those who need to view but not alter campaigns, this level allows users to create reports and view various campaign elements without the ability to edit. |
| Partner Client | A more restricted view, preventing access to financial details, linked partner or advertiser specifics, and certain platform fees, suitable for external collaborators. |
| Reporting Only | Focused on data analysis, users can create and oversee reports, diving deep into campaign performance without access to broader campaign management tools. |
| Reporting Only – limited | A narrower version of the Reporting Only access, confined to generating and managing client-safe reports, ensuring data sensitivity is maintained. |
| Creative | Creatives are empowered to manage creative assets and view non-cost related account data, streamlining the creative process within the campaign framework. |
| Creative Admin | Building on the Creative level, Creative Admins can also appoint other creatives, fostering a collaborative environment for creative development. |
| Planner | Planners gain visibility into all campaigns, creatives, Floodlight activities, and reports, offering a comprehensive overview for strategic planning. |
| Planner – limited | Similar to Planner access but confined to viewing non-cost related data, ensuring strategic insight without exposure to sensitive financial information. |
Understanding and strategically assigning these DV360 access levels ensures that each team member operates within their realm of expertise and responsibility, enhancing campaign efficiency and safeguarding critical data. This structured approach to access management underscores DV360’s versatility in catering to the intricate needs of digital marketing teams.

Effective management of access levels within DV360 is critical for safeguarding sensitive campaign information while ensuring that team workflows are streamlined and productive. Assigning access judiciously based on individual responsibilities and roles within the campaign lifecycle not only enhances operational security but also fortifies the integrity and performance of programmatic initiatives.
