Access & Permissions

This page is the source of truth for what Publifter can see. Every permission below is read-only except one, marked clearly. Toggling one off dims and blocks the pages that depend on it in the sidebar — everything else keeps working.

5 of 7 permissions currently granted. Declining a permission never breaks Publifter as a whole, only the specific pages that read it.

Declined

Cross-publisher benchmarking

Shown separately because it sends data out of your account, not just reads it.

Off — default

If you opt in, Publifter contributes your anonymised eCPM and fill medians to a pool and shows you peer medians in return. It ships off by default and stays off until you flip the switch above.

Never requested

Publifter does not ask for any of the following, on any plan.

Payment, banking or payout details
Write access to mediation, waterfall or ad server configuration
Your end users' names, emails, phone numbers or advertising identifiers
Creative assets, audience lists or campaign structures in your ad accounts
Any ability to spend money on your behalf
