Domain groups and media buyer access

A group brings domains together and opens them to selected media buyers and designers: without a group, these roles cannot see a domain.

A domain group defines which domains a media buyer and a designer can see. The groups window opens with the Groups («Группы») button in the Domains («Домены») section. The owner, the admin and the team lead can see the button.

Who sees which domains

RoleWhat they see
Owner, Admin, Team leadAll domains, with or without a group
Buyer, DesignerOnly domains from groups shared with them. Domains without a group are hidden
FinancierThe Domains section is unavailable

A domain belongs to only one group. To give a media buyer a domain, put the domain in a group and share that group. About roles — on the Team and roles page.

Create a group

  1. Open Domains.
  2. Click Groups. The “Domain groups” («Группы доменов») window opens.
  3. Enter a name in the field with the hint “For example: FB — team Alpha” («Например: FB — команда Alpha»).
  4. Click Create («Создать»).

The group appears in the window table with the Name («Название») and Domains («Доменов») columns. A new group has 0 in the Domains column.

Add domains to a group

  • In the domain table: choose a group in the list in the Group («Группа») column. The change is saved immediately.
  • In the domain window: click Edit («Изменить») in the domain row, choose a group in the Group field and click Save («Сохранить»).
  • When adding a domain: in the “Add domain” («Добавить домен») window, choose a group in the Group field. The Create link next to the list opens a field with the hint “New group name” («Название новой группы»), and the group is created together with the domains. The owner and the admin add domains — see Domains.

To remove a domain from a group, choose the “— no group —” («— без группы —») option in the Group column. Media buyers and designers will no longer see it.

Share a group

  1. Open Domains → Groups.
  2. Click Share («Поделиться») in the group row. The “Share group” («Поделиться группой») window opens with the group name.
  3. Select the employees in the list.
  4. Click Save.

The list contains employees with the “Buyer” («Баер») and “Designer” («Верстальщик») roles. The owner and the admin see everyone; a team lead sees only the employees assigned to them. If the list is empty, the window says “No media buyers to share with” («Нет баеров для шаринга»). How to assign employees to a team lead is covered on the Team lead and their media buyers page.

The checked employees get all domains of the group, including those added to it later.

Revoke access

  1. Open Domains → Groups.
  2. Click Share in the group row.
  3. Uncheck the employee.
  4. Click Save.

The access list is saved as a whole: anyone who is unchecked loses the group's domains.

What a media buyer sees

In the Domains section, a media buyer and a designer see only the domains given to them. They do not have the + Domain («+ Домен»), Groups and Edit buttons or the Group column. The domain status window opens, but it has no Check («Проверить») button. The Campaigns («Кампаний») and Index page («Index страница») columns count only the campaigns available to the employee.

In a campaign, the domains given to them appear on the Source and parameters («Источник и параметры») tab in the Domain («Домен») list. The first option in the list is “— main traffic domain —” («— основной домен трафика —»). If no domains are available, a note next to the list says “no domains available — contact your team lead” («нет доступных доменов — обратитесь к тимлиду»). How a domain gets into the link is covered on the Campaign link, domain and parameters page.

A campaign after access is revoked

Revoking access, removing a domain from a group and deleting a group do not change campaigns in which the domain is already selected.

  • The domain stays in the campaign settings, and the link with it keeps working.
  • The media buyer can still edit the campaign and click Pause («Пауза») and Start («Запустить»).
  • On the campaign page, the media buyer sees “main” («основной») in the Domain line, and the Traffic link («Ссылка для трафика») is built on the main traffic domain. The owner, the admin and the team lead see the previous domain.
  • The media buyer can no longer choose the revoked domain in the Domain list: it is not there.

Delete a group

The Delete («Удалить») button in the groups window is available to the owner and the admin.

  1. Open Domains → Groups.
  2. Click Delete in the group row.
  3. Confirm the question “Delete group ‘…’? The domains will stay but will leave the group.” («Удалить группу «…»? Домены останутся, но выйдут из группы.»)

The domains stay in the tracker without a group. Media buyers and designers with whom this group was shared stop seeing them. Campaigns with these domains do not change — see A campaign after access is revoked.

Warning.

If the group is selected as the reserve group of a blocklist registry, after deletion the registry has no reserve group left, and domains in streams stop being replaced. After the next check, the registry row shows “auto-replacement not done: no reserve domain group selected — nothing to replace with” («автозамена не выполнена: не выбрана резервная группа доменов — менять не на что»). Choose another group for the registry.

A group as the reserve for the blocklist registry

On the Settings → PL registry («Настройки → Реестр PL») tab, in the registry window, the group is chosen in the Reserve domain group («Резервная группа доменов») field. The tracker takes a replacement domain from it when a domain in a stream for Poland ends up in the registry. The owner and the admin configure the registry.

A domain from the reserve group is not taken as a replacement if it is selected in any campaign. Registry setup is covered on the Blocklist registry (PL) and automatic domain replacement page.

Check

  1. Open Domains → Groups and click Share in the group row: the right employees are checked.
  2. Ask the employee to open the Domains section: the group's domains should be in the table.
  3. Ask them to open a campaign and the Source and parameters tab: the group's domains are in the Domain list.

The owner and the admin can check this themselves with Log in as a user.

FAQ

A media buyer cannot see the domain in a campaign

Check in order:

  1. The domain is in a group: the Group column does not show “— no group —”.
  2. This group is shared with the media buyer: Groups → Share, the employee is checked.
  3. The media buyer reloaded the campaign page: the Domain list loads when the page opens.
  4. The Domains section is not closed to the employee in their permissions — see User permissions.

The “selected domain is unavailable” error («выбранный домен недоступен»)

The message appears when you save a campaign if the employee selected a domain and access to it was closed after the page was opened. Reload the campaign page: only available domains will remain in the Domain list. To restore access, the owner, the admin or the team lead checks the employee again in the Share window.

Can I give a media buyer one domain instead of the whole group

Access is given only to a whole group. Create a separate group with one domain and share it. The domain then leaves its previous group: employees with whom the previous group was shared stop seeing it.
