Linked vs connected ad accounts

Linking is for your whole team. Connecting is for you. Here's how they differ.

Linked Accounts has two separate controls, and mixing them up is the most common reason someone can see an ad account that a teammate can't.

Linked / Unlinked

Connected / Disconnected

What it controls

Whether Opteo works on the ad account

Whether the ad account shows on your Accounts page

Who it affects

Your whole team

Only you (or the teammate you change)

Counts towards your plan?

Yes, when linked

No

Where to change it

Linked and Unlinked tabs

Connected column, or Assign Team Members

Some examples

  • Your teammate can see an ad account and you can't. It's linked, but you're not connected to it. Connect to it.

  • Nobody can see an ad account. It's unlinked. Link it from the Unlinked tab.

  • You want a client gone from your Accounts page, but a colleague still manages it. Disconnect yourself. Don't unlink it.

  • You've stopped working with a client. Unlink it, so it stops counting towards your plan.
