Access and permissions: who sees and does what?

Updated on 16.10.2026

What you can see and do in CAP Explorer depends on three things. The pages in the Help Center show below the title which permission you need for a task.

Account typeWhat you see
RetailerCampaigns, visuals and reports of your company, limited to the stores of your level
BrandOnly the campaigns shared with you, and within them the released part. You log in through Brand Access.
AgencyToday, agencies work with the user type Cyreen User. A separate account type follows once it is released, see What is changing.
CyreenAll companies and stores

Retailers create brand users themselves, see Manage brand users.

Level in the company: which stores you see

Section titled “Level in the company: which stores you see”

A retailer account is built like the company. Every user belongs to one of these levels:

LevelSees
Head officeall stores of the company
Regionthe stores of its region
Storeonly its own store

Lists and dashboards only show campaigns, visuals and figures from these stores. The Performance dashboard of a campaign is only visible to the company that owns the campaign, to Cyreen and to brands it has been shared with.

Every user has one or more roles. A role bundles permissions, with two levels per area:

  • View: you can look at the area.
  • Manage: you can also create and edit there. There is no separate permission for creating.

A role can, for example, create loop-based campaigns but only view contact-based ones.

Which permission do I need?

PermissionViewManage
Loop-based Campaigns view the list and details create, change, clone, stop, delete
Contact-based Campaigns view the list create and change
Contact-based Visuals view the list create, change, clone, Stop Playout
Analytics products, marketing activities a separate permission each for editing
Reports view the Impressions and Performance dashboards request the Performance dashboard (Request), share a report (Share)
Listing Check run and save the Listing Check
User List view users create, change and delete users and brand users
Data Exchange one permission per tab: Upload (upload receipt data), Download

View: see it. Manage: also create and edit. Which stores you see depends on the level of your company. If you are missing the permission, contact the administrator of your account.

The permissions in the Permission Details are named like the menu entries, for example Loop-based Campaigns or User List. The Roles page shows which roles exist in your account, see Manage user roles.

You only edit and share entries of your own company. If a visual of another company plays in your stores, you see it in the list, but Edit and Clone show Not Available. Only Cyreen can edit and share entries of other companies.

If an area is switched off for your company, for example the Listing Check or Data Exchange, it is missing from the menu even if your role has the permission. If you lack a permission, you see No permission or No access. In that case, contact the administrator of your account.

Cyreen is extending access. New with the upcoming CAP Explorer release:

  • Tenants: a tenant groups several retailers. If you have access to several, you choose one when you log in.
  • Retailer filter: users with several retailers filter by one retailer at the bottom left or see all of them together, see The interface.
  • Agencies: agencies get their own account type once it is released and, depending on their release, see only their own data or also data of the tenant and the retailers.
  • Retailer users: for them everything stays as described above.
