## Users, teams, and companies

Ad Manager gives us various ways to control who can access our network and what they can do and see.

## Manage our own users

To manage our own users inAd Manager, we use:

• Users

• Roles

A **user** is generally one person, who is associated with one Google Account and email address. Each user has assigned a role it can be either a built-in role or a custom one which consists of a set of permissions, or rules, about what the user can see and do.

If our network uses Teams, we can further restrict access. Team members can only see and work with those orders and ad units which have been assigned to their teams.

Only available in Google Ad Manager 360.

## Manage external users

We can give advertisers and agencies read-only access to their own campaigns in Ad Manager. To do so, we use:

• Companies

• Contacts

A **contact** is the person from an outside entity whom we invite to view his or her own campaigns. All contacts must be belong to a company. A **[company is an outside entity](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/155733/what-is-inventory-and-delivery-in-ad-manager)**, such as advertiser or agency.
