Share Amazon Ads access without sharing a password

Last updated: August 2026

To give an agency access to Amazon Ads, use Amazon Ads user management — the agency is invited with a role through the account's user settings. No password is shared, the client keeps ownership of Amazon Ads / DSP accounts, and access can be removed anytime.
Full step-by-step guide

The official way to grant Amazon Ads access

Amazon Ads user management — the agency is invited with a role through the account's user settings. You'll find it under Account settings → Manage users. The client keeps ownership of Amazon Ads / DSP accounts; the agency is granted only what you assign.

The mistake almost everyone makes: Brand/entity permissions can be tangled; request the specific advertising account and role.

What you'll need first

Access levels explained

Grant the least access the work needs. Here's what each level on Amazon Ads can do:

Access level / roleWhat it can do
AdminFull control including users.
EditorCreate and manage campaigns. Usual agency level.
ViewerView campaigns and reports.

How long it takes

A few minutes to invite; the agency accepts the invitation.

Why this is safer than sharing a password

The agency is invited as a user by email with a role — no password shared, removable anytime.

Or do it in one link

Every step above is why agencies move to a single link. HandItSafe requests exactly the Amazon Ads access you need — the client approves it through Amazon Ads's own process in about three minutes, no password shared, and keeps a panel to see and remove access anytime. That visibility is why clients approve faster, and it makes offboarding a one-tap job later.
