Profiles

What are Profiles in Lucit?

Each primary object in Lucit has a profile and when selecting that profile, your user interface, menu and options will update to reflect the capabilities of that profile.

The following objects have profiles in Lucit that you can switch to

  • User This is YOUR personal user profile. Every user has one (and only one) User Profile.
  • Operator Contains settings to manage screens (billboards), accounts and campaigns
  • Ad Agency Contains settings to manage multiple advertiser profiles and campaigns
  • Account The container for campaigns, apps & data sources, and creatives

Basic Profile Actions

  • Switching On the top-right corner of the screen, click on the Profile Drop-Down to select a profile. Typically you will see an Icon/Image and a name.
  • Which profile am I on? On the top-right corner of the screen, your current profile will be displayed. Click on this to change it
  • Create a new Account To create a new account, from the very bottom of the Profile Drop-Down click Add New Account
  • Create a new Ad Agency or Operator From your User Profile -> Home Page click on the Create New Account / Profile button and select the appropriate type: Account | Ad Agency | Operator / Screen Owner

Understanding Profile Context

When you switch profiles, the entire interface changes to match that profile's capabilities:

  • Menu items change based on profile type - Each profile type (User, Ad Agency, Operator, Account) has its own set of menu items on the left-hand side and a customized home screen page
  • Available actions reflect the profile's permissions - What you can do depends on which profile you're viewing and your role within that profile
  • Data displayed is scoped to that profile - When viewing an Account profile, you only see campaigns, creatives, and analytics for that specific account
  • Your role matters - You may have different permission levels across different profiles (e.g., Admin on one account, Viewer on another)

Each type of profile will have a different set of menu items on the left-hand side of the screen. These are as follows
