Self-Service User Management User Guide

Apr 21, 2023

Self-Service User Management allows you to create and update user settings in IAS Signal without needing coordination with an IAS representative. To leverage this offering, work with your IAS account team to get the User Admin role added to your login.

With Self-Service User Management, you can edit users and permission users across teams that their respective admins have access to. You can create and deactivate users, and assign and unassign roles within your teams.

IAS Signal auto-generates usernames when you create a new user and sends an email confirmation to the Admin. Also, Signal sends a password activation email to the new users.

With the Self-Service User Management, IAS is removed from the management and oversight of your user management decisions. However IAS created a 'User History' in the Admin user page's audit log for your auditing needs.

Access the Self-Service User Management through the Admin icon on the left side bar. Then select Users.

Create Users

Your IAS representative creates the initial Self-Service Admin user for you. Reach out to your representative for more information.

You can create new users once you have at least one user with the User Admin role. Each user contains roles to control Signal permissions, along with assigned Teams and DSPs. The user only sees data for the assigned teams and DSP (when assigned the Programmatic Traders role).

IAS Signal generates the usernames and sets default roles for you (you can override the default settings) and sends the Self-Service User Admin an email for each user activation.

Assign Roles

A user gets roles for various permissions in Signal. You can control how much of Signal a user can access.

Role	Description	Is Default
User Admin	You can create and update user roles. The User Admin can also reset passwords for users which results in the user receiving an email to reset a password. Additionally, the User Admin can enable, expire, lock, etc. accounts.	No

Assign Teams

Users can only see data for the assigned teams, done in the User settings section. You can assign Teams upon User creation or later via editing the Admin > User:

Assign DSPs

When the user is assigned the Programmatic Traders role, you can assign DSPs to that user:

Disable User

User Admins can disable a user and edit the user's teams, DSPs, etc. by removing those values in the Admin > User page. Edit the user and deselect items.

Here a User Admin can edit a user and add or remove Teams and DSPs.
