Admin
If you are an administrator on your organization’s account, you can access the admin settings by selecting Organization Settings.
As an administrator, you are able to:
- Add new users and manage existing users
- Select User Management.
User Management menu item
- Click on a user to open to user configuration window.
Configuration window
Here you can:
- change the associated email address, username, name, and password.
- send a Change Password Email to a user
- deactivate users (there is no way to delete users, but deactivating a user allows you to prevent that user from signing in)
- make a user an admin
- unlock a user (if a user fails to enter their password correctly 10 times within a 1-hour period, their account will be temporarily locked)
- Update your Marketing Automation Platform account credentials
Note
The name of the MAP tab will depend on which MAP you use.
MAP example - Connect PathFactory to your Google Analytics
Google Analytics Tracking ID field - Require user passwords to expire
Password Expiration checkbox - Change your password
Change Password menu item - Exclude visitors from your PathFactory analytics
Analytics tab - Generate API keys
Note: API Configurations are only available to those who have purchased the PathFactory API add-on. Contact your CSM, or click here for more information on API keys.
- Turn off Estimated Cost
Note: Users will still be able to add estimated cost to content assets; turning off estimated cost only prevents the cost from showing in the Content Library Summary.
Organization Settings menu - Set “No-Index” as the default for newly created Content Tracks
Note: Setting your Content Tracks to “No-Index” means that they won’t be discoverable or indexed by search engines. Selecting this option will not retroactively apply the no-index state to your existing Content Tracks. If you set No-Index as your default, you will still be able to change this at an individual track level.
Settings menu - Create and edit content tags
Authors can also access the content tag configuration page, but it will be in view-only mode, so they do not have the option to create new tags or edit existing ones. Authors are able to apply existing tags to content assets. - Build and edit Content Tracks
Author
As an author, you are able to:
- Change your password
Change Password menu item - Build, edit, and publish Content Tracks
- Apply existing tags to content assets
Note: Authors can access the content tag configuration page to view all existing tags, but it will be in view-only mode and they will not have the option to create new tags or edit existing ones.
