Simplified Roles: Get to Your Campaigns Faster!

We're excited to announce a simpler way to manage your team's access!

By default, we've simplified organization roles so all users can immediately see and work on all campaigns. This means invited users will see the campaigns they expect without extra setup, making onboarding smoother and faster.

What this means for you:

  • Faster Onboarding: New users can jump right into their work.
  • Default Full Access: All users will have access to all campaigns right away.
  • Fewer Access Issues: Simpler to troubleshoot campaign visibility.

Need more granular control? Don't worry! Advanced role controls are still available as an optional setting for organizations that require specific access levels and team-based governance. Learn more.
