Overview Account Groups allow administrators to define a user’s access to a subset of accounts within the Buzz Key. If a user is associated to multiple Account Groups, they will have access to all accounts within those Account Groups. If a user is associated to an Account Group   and   has the All-Account Access flag set to Yes, the latter will take precedence, giving them access to all accounts in the Buzz Key.  User actions are defined by their assigned   Role , but they may perform any of the allowable actions across the accounts to which they have access. Users with custom Buyer Cloud setups should contact their account representative to add users to their account group. This step is necessary because the multi-account customer setting is not enabled for custom Buyer Cloud customers, in order to prevent regular account administrators from modifying the account access level for users. Accessing Account Groups To access the Account Groups page, navigate to  Admin  >  Account Groups  at the top of the screen. Additionally, account groups may be created by selecting the    button at the top right of the UI, then selecting  Account   Group . Account Groups List View List View Fields Column Name Description Name & ID Name and ID of the created account group. Customer ID ID of the customer selected for this account group. Alt ID Alternate ID used for third-party reporting. Archived Yes or No option to archive the account group. The option to un-archive is always available. Create an Account Group The users within the account group will get access to all accounts within the account group. If the same user is in multiple account groups, they will get access to all the accounts within those account groups.    Customer IDs are used as a bounding factor to prevent data breaches because they reflect the billing relationship between Buyer Cloud and clients. Only accounts with matching Customer IDs are allowed within the account group and only users within accounts with matching Customer IDs are allowed within the account group.    Navigate to  Admin  >  Account Groups  >  New Account Group .
