--- title: "Accounts" canonical: "https://hub.freewheel.tv/space/BC/115114172/Accounts" format: markdown --- Overview Buyer Cloud users with custom configurations benefit from Multi-account functionality, which enables a single UI instance to support multiple business entities with separate accounts and no data overlap. This capability exists because custom configuration users receive a unique buzz key that activates a UI instance with the ability to create multiple business accounts with their own unique bidder configuration. In comparison, Buyer Cloud customers with standard configurations who log into dsp.beeswax.com are limited to single account access rather than having the ability to create multiple business accounts. To reset an account password, select "Forget Password" at the login screen. What is a Buzzkey? A Buzzkey is a unique identifier used exclusively within FreeWheel’s custom Buyer Cloud platform to establish and manage customer access. It’s a distinctive alphanumeric string (up to 20 characters) that represents an individual customer’s instance of the user interface. Think of it as a customer’s digital “namespace” within the custom Buyer Cloud ecosystem.  Expand for a view of the relationship between Buzz Keys, accounts, users, roles & permissions: Accessing Accounts To access the Accounts page, navigate to Admin  > Accounts at the top of the screen.

Sharing Objects across Accounts Segments and segment categories (and the corresponding segments underneath them) may be shared between accounts within the same Buyer Cloud UI instance. Sharing these objects between accounts can be done via the  API only . For more info on the API calls required, please see  Segment Sharing  and  Segment Category Sharing . Reporting While users within a single account may only see reporting data from their own account, users with "All-Account" or "Account Group" access may pull data across all the permissioned accounts within a UI instance. From the Report Builder UI, a “required” field will appear for an Account ID Filter (this is distinct from the Account ID field). This filter can be set to a numeric account_id or the special term "any" which will allow querying across accounts. By default, the report filter is set to the  Current Account the user is masqueraded into. However, when opening the filter options, users may select the  Permissioned Account IDs option to filter for all permissioned accounts in the UI instance. Additionally, the logical operation may be changed as well to refine a subset of accounts. For instance, selecting the filter to be is equal to allows selecting a specific accounts to run the report to. It is suggested to add the account_id as a field in the query definition.
