My Ads User Permissions
Published Sep 11, 2025

In My Ads, managing user access is essential for maintaining operational efficiency and campaign integrity. The My Ads user permissions framework provides a structured approach to assigning roles and responsibilities across various functional areas.
 

This article outlines the permission categories and highlights the access levels granted to different user roles.

Seller Hub, My Ads and Mirakl permissions

Seller Hub, Mirakl and My Ads are all part of Best Buy’s partner ecosystem, but they serve different purposes. Therefore, user permissions aren’t shared between platforms. You’ll require unique permissions for each platform.

Please note: Your Mirakl admin will be the first user permissioned to My Ads and will be the point of contact to invite additional users.

User roles overview

The system defines four primary user roles:

  • Report Viewer: Focused on data access and reporting capabilities
  • Campaign Manager: Responsible for managing and optimizing ad campaigns
  • Admin: Holds broad access across reporting, user management and campaign functions
  • Billing Admin: Specializes in financial and billing-related tasks and managing payment methods

Please note: The Billing Admin role can be combined (or “stacked”) with any of the other roles: Report Viewer, Campaign Manager or Admin. However, no other roles can be stacked with each other.

Permission categories and access levels
  1. Reporting
    This category includes access to dashboards and downloadable campaign data. All roles: Report Viewer, Campaign Manager, and Admin have full access to:

    • Summary dashboards
    • Campaign reporting
    • Sponsored campaigns
    • Sponsored products reports

    Universal access ensures transparency and performance tracking across teams.
     
  2. Group and watch reports
    These permissions support collaborative reporting and monitoring:

    Group/Stack Reports and managing Reports to Watch are available to Report Viewers, Campaign Managers and Admins, enabling them to organize and track key campaign metrics.
     
  3. User management
    This category is more selectively granted:

    • Admins have full access to user management functions, including inviting, creating, updating and managing users.
    • Campaign Managers have limited access, primarily for viewing and downloading user lists.
    • Report Viewers and Billing Admins do not have access to user management features.

    This structure ensures that only authorized personnel can modify user data and access controls.
     
  4. Campaign management
    Campaign Managers and Admins share access to:

    • Campaign management dashboards
    • Campaign creation, updates and management options

    Report Viewers and Billing Admins are excluded from campaign-level operations, maintaining a clear separation of duties.
     
  5. Billing
    Billing permissions are restricted to Admins and Billing Admins, who can:

    • View billing information
    • Access billing options (Billing Admin only)
    • Manage credit cards (Billing Admin only)

    This ensures that financial data is handled securely and only by designated roles.

    Please note: There can only be one Billing Admin assigned per account.
