Manage users

Partner Network users are people who work on Amazon Ads accounts or manage Login with Amazon applications for your organization.

Access levels

Business employees who work on Amazon Ads accounts, provide services to Amazon advertisers, or need access to Amazon Ads tech partner resources.

We have 3 access levels that Partner Network account admins can choose to assign users:

Viewers can access content but can't make changes to the account. This role grants the user view-only access to all applications except user management and payment information. Viewers can only view their own learning console details.

Editors have access to all viewers' permissions, in addition to managing everything except the ‘payments’ and ‘access and settings’ pages. They can change content, create new ads, create portfolios, and manage existing campaigns. This role grants the user view and edit access to all applications except user management and payment information.

Admins have access to all functionality. A user invited as an admin can view and change everything within the account, including the ability to update registration information, change payment settings, invite, edit, or remove users, link/unlink advertisers, view all users’ learning console certifications, access and submit the Amazon Ads API registration form, and link/unlink applications.

Note: Custom - Editor is a legacy permission for former ‘developers.’ This role allows you access and apply for the Amazon Ads API and link/unlink applications. New users who require at least this level of functionality, can be added as an Admin, which comes with additional functionality. This role can't be assigned to new or existing users.
