Marketing Cloud Engagement User Management


Marketing Cloud Engagement includes standard roles and permissions for how areas of the
application can be accessed and used. Roles are convenient because they package a set of
permissions that you can grant to a user, rather than having to manually grant individual
permissions to each user. A permission grants a user access to something and determines what
they can do with it. For example, you can grant a user permission to read something, but not
create something.

 Marketing Cloud Engagement Administrator—This role assigns Marketing Cloud


Engagement roles to users and manages channels, apps, and tools. (Hint: this is you!)
 Marketing Cloud Engagement Viewer—This role views cross-channel marketing
activity results in Marketing Cloud Engagement.
 Marketing Cloud Engagement Channel Manager—This role creates and executes
cross-channel interactive marketing campaigns and administers specific channels like
Email Studio.
 Marketing Cloud Engagement Security Administrator—This role maintains security
settings and manages user activity and alerts.
 Marketing Cloud Engagement Content Editor/Publisher—This role creates and
delivers messages through applicable channel apps.

You can copy and customize a table like this to organize your list of users.

Don’t see a role that fits a particular user? You can customize roles or create additional roles in
Marketing Cloud Engagement. Let’s try it.

Create a Role

1. Navigate to Marketing Cloud Engagement Setup.


2. Use Quick Find to navigate to Roles.
3. A list of all the standard roles appears. Select an existing role to edit it or click Create to
make a new one.
4. Give the new role a name and select the permissions to Allow or Deny for the role.
5. Save the role.

An explicitly denied permission always overrides all other permissions. When a


permission is not explicitly granted or denied, Marketing Cloud Engagement defaults to
a deny permission unless another role grants that permission.
Create a User

With your roles ready to go, you can now add users to Marketing Cloud Engagement and apply
a role to that user.

1. Navigate to Marketing Cloud Engagement Setup.


2. Use Quick Find to navigate to Users.
3. Click Create.

Review Add a User in Salesforce Help to learn how to complete specific fields when creating a
user. There are options to specify if and how the email address for that user can be used for
Marketing Cloud Engagement email sends. You can also specify time zone, language settings,
and more.

User Preferences
After logging in, your Marketing Cloud Engagement users can adjust their preferences in
Marketing Cloud Engagement to manage their own user experience. Preferences include Time
Zone, Culture Code (language), Name, and more.

1. To adjust your individual Marketing Cloud Engagement preferences, click Cloud


Preferences under your username.
2. In User Settings, click Edit to change things such as your display name, reply email
address, time zone, culture code (language), and more.
3. In Default Login Preference, select which Marketing Cloud Engagement app opens
automatically when you log in to Marketing Cloud Engagement.

SSO Authentication
We understand that some companies want to use a third-party identity provider to authenticate
their Marketing Cloud Engagement users. Good news! You can enable single sign-on (SSO)
authentication for Marketing Cloud Engagement. Keep in mind the following when setting up
SSO Authentication.

 Marketing Cloud Engagement supports identity providers that utilize the SAML 2.0
specification. The configuration must trust the Marketing Cloud Engagement product as
a service provider, sometimes called a relying party.
 You need to create an encryption key for Marketing Cloud Engagement activities.
 After you engage and configure your service provider and create a key, you must
configure Marketing Cloud Engagement to use that identity provider.
 Test your SAML enablement on a single user before enabling others on your account.
You can better resolve any configuration issues or errors when dealing with a single user.
