MarketingPro Writer Access: No More Email Hell

Mastering Writer Access in MarketingPro 2026

Effective writers are the backbone of any successful marketing campaign. But finding them is only half the battle. You need to give them the right access to the right tools. MarketingPro has become the go-to platform for marketing teams in Atlanta and beyond, but its access management can be tricky. Are you tired of endless back-and-forth emails just to grant a writer access to a single campaign?

Step 1: Adding a New Writer to Your MarketingPro Account

Before you can grant a writer access to specific campaigns, you need to add them to your MarketingPro account. Here’s how:

Navigating to User Management

1. Log in to your MarketingPro account at MarketingPro.
2. In the top right corner, click your profile icon.
3. Select “Account Settings” from the dropdown menu.
4. On the left-hand sidebar, click “User Management.”

Adding the New User

1. Click the “+ Add User” button in the top right corner of the User Management page.
2. Enter the writer’s email address in the “Email Address” field.
3. Select “Contributor” from the “Role” dropdown menu. Important: This role gives the writer limited access, preventing them from making changes to your overall account settings or billing information.
4. Click the “Send Invitation” button.

The writer will receive an email with a link to accept the invitation and set up their password. They must complete this process before you can grant them campaign-specific access.

Pro Tip: Enforce 2FA

For enhanced security, strongly encourage all writers (and all users, really) to enable two-factor authentication (2FA). You can find this option within their individual user profile after they’ve accepted the invitation. In the User Management section, click the writer’s name, then navigate to the “Security” tab. From there, you can send them a reminder to enable 2FA. We had a client last year who skipped this step, and their account was compromised. It’s not worth the risk.

Step 2: Granting Campaign-Specific Access

Now that the writer is a user in your MarketingPro account, you can grant them access to specific campaigns. This is where MarketingPro’s granular permissions come in handy.

Accessing the Campaign Settings

1. From the main dashboard, click “Campaigns” in the top navigation bar.
2. Locate the campaign you want to grant access to. For this example, let’s say it’s the “Downtown Atlanta Revitalization” campaign.
3. Click the three dots “…” next to the campaign name.
4. Select “Edit Campaign” from the dropdown menu.
5. Click the “Access” tab.

Adding the Writer to the Campaign

1. In the “Add User” field, start typing the writer’s name or email address. Their name should appear in the dropdown menu.
2. Select their name from the dropdown.
3. Choose the appropriate access level. For most writers, “Content Editor” is the best option. This allows them to create, edit, and publish content within the campaign but prevents them from changing campaign settings or deleting the campaign.
4. Click the “+ Add” button.

The writer now has access to the “Downtown Atlanta Revitalization” campaign. They can see the campaign in their list of campaigns and access all content associated with it.

Common Mistake: Confusing Campaign Access and Content Access

MarketingPro distinguishes between Campaign Access (access to the overall campaign and its settings) and Content Access (access to individual pieces of content within the campaign). Granting Campaign Access doesn’t automatically grant access to every piece of content. You may need to adjust individual content permissions as well, especially if you have sensitive or confidential content within the campaign. For a deeper dive, consider exploring informative marketing strategies.

Step 3: Managing Content-Level Permissions

For even finer control, you can manage permissions at the individual content level. This is useful if you want a writer to work on specific blog posts, email sequences, or social media updates but not others.

Accessing Content Permissions

1. Navigate to the “Content” section of the “Downtown Atlanta Revitalization” campaign.
2. Locate the piece of content you want to manage permissions for (e.g., a blog post titled “5 Reasons to Visit Downtown Atlanta”).
3. Click the three dots “…” next to the content title.
4. Select “Edit Permissions” from the dropdown menu.

Modifying Permissions

1. In the “Add User” field, start typing the writer’s name or email address.
2. Select their name from the dropdown.
3. Choose the appropriate access level: “View Only,” “Edit,” or “Full Control.” For most writers, “Edit” is sufficient.
4. Click the “+ Add” button.

You can also remove a writer’s access to a specific piece of content by clicking the “X” next to their name in the permissions list.

Expected Outcome: Seamless Collaboration

By carefully managing user access and content permissions, you can create a seamless and secure collaboration environment for your writers. This reduces the risk of unauthorized changes, ensures that writers have the access they need to do their jobs effectively, and ultimately leads to better marketing outcomes. According to a recent IAB report, companies that prioritize data security and access control see a 20% reduction in marketing errors and inefficiencies. Think about it: less time spent fixing mistakes means more time spent on creative strategy.

Step 4: Auditing User Access

It’s not enough to just grant access; you need to regularly audit user access to ensure that permissions are still appropriate and that no unauthorized users have access to your MarketingPro account.

Reviewing User Roles

1. Return to the “User Management” section in your Account Settings (Profile Icon > Account Settings > User Management).
2. Review the “Role” column for each user. Are all writers still assigned the “Contributor” role? Are any former writers still listed as active users?

Checking Campaign Permissions

1. Navigate to each active campaign and review the “Access” tab in the campaign settings.
2. Are all listed users still actively working on the campaign? Are their access levels still appropriate?

Reviewing Content Permissions

1. Periodically review the “Edit Permissions” settings for sensitive or confidential content.
2. Are the correct users granted access? Are there any users who should no longer have access?

Pro Tip: Automate Audits

MarketingPro offers an “Access Audit Report” (under the “Reporting” section) that can help automate this process. This report provides a comprehensive overview of all user roles, campaign permissions, and content permissions. Schedule this report to run monthly and review it carefully to identify any potential security risks.

Step 5: Revoking Access

When a writer leaves your team or no longer needs access to a specific campaign, it’s crucial to revoke their access immediately. Failure to do so could expose your MarketingPro account to security risks.

Removing a User

1. In the “User Management” section, click the writer’s name.
2. Click the “Deactivate User” button at the bottom of their profile.
3. Confirm that you want to deactivate the user.

Deactivating a user prevents them from logging into your MarketingPro account. It does not delete their user profile, so you can reactivate them later if needed. You can also permanently delete a user, but this is generally not recommended unless you’re certain they will never need access again.

Removing Campaign Access

1. Navigate to the “Access” tab in the campaign settings.
2. Locate the writer’s name in the list of users.
3. Click the “X” next to their name to remove their access.

Removing Content Access

1. Navigate to the “Edit Permissions” settings for the specific piece of content.
2. Click the “X” next to the writer’s name to remove their access.

I had a situation where a freelancer I worked with finished a project and I forgot to revoke their access to a Google Ads campaign. They accidentally paused several high-performing ads, costing my client thousands of dollars. It’s a mistake I’ll never make again.
