# Decide what your AI can change

**What you'll have at the end:** a switch for each kind of change, set the way you want, for all platforms or one at a time.

**Who can change this:** the workspace **Owner** or an **Admin**. Everyone else can see it.

## All on to start

Reading is always on: your AI can look at your accounts and report. Every kind of change starts **on** (Full control). Turn off what you do not want. Open **Add to your AI** in the menu and find **What your AI can do**. You can also reach it from **Settings**.

If your AI tries something that is off, nothing changes. It tells you what was turned off and gives you a link to the switch. Turn it on if you want it, then ask again.

## The switches

| Group | Switch | What it allows |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Campaigns | **Create campaigns and ads** | New campaigns, ad groups, ad sets and ads. |
| Campaigns | **Turn ads on** | Start campaigns, ad groups and ads. This is what starts spending. |
| Campaigns | **Pause ads** | Stop campaigns, ad groups and ads. |
| Budgets and bids | **Raise budgets** | Raise daily or lifetime budgets and spending limits. |
| Budgets and bids | **Lower budgets** | Lower daily or lifetime budgets. |
| Budgets and bids | **Change bids** | Bid amounts, bid strategies and targets. |
| Ads and audiences | **Edit ads and creatives** | Text, images, videos, links, names, lead forms and catalogs. |
| Ads and audiences | **Edit targeting and keywords** | Locations, ages, interests, placements, keywords and negative keywords. |
| Ads and audiences | **Create and update audiences** | Custom and lookalike audiences, and customer lists you ask it to upload. |
| Tracking | **Conversion setup** | Conversion actions, pixels and sending conversion data. |
| Tracking | **Website tracking** | Add websites, choose events, send tests, apply fixes, pause tracking. |
| Bigger changes | **Automated rules** | Rules and budget schedules that change your ads later, on their own. |
| Bigger changes | **Delete and archive** | Remove campaigns, ads, audiences, rules and tracked websites. This cannot be undone. |
| Bigger changes | **Advanced changes** | Raw platform changes, Google's recommendations, and linking or creating ad accounts. |

## Presets

Tap one to set the switches at once:

- **Look only**: nothing can change.
- **Daily optimizer**: pause ads, lower budgets and raise budgets.

- **Full control** (the default): everything except advanced changes.

The page shows which preset matches. If you change a switch afterwards it says **Custom**.

## One platform different from the others

By default a switch is the same for every ad platform. Pick a platform on the page to make it different, for example raising budgets on Google only. **Use All platforms** puts it back.

## Free plan and payment problems

- **Free plan:** your AI can make changes within the Free monthly limit.
- If your payment needs attention, the switches lock until it is fixed.

## Optional two-step sign-in

You can turn on two-step sign-in in your account settings. If you do, it is asked at sign-in only. Your AI's changes never wait for a code: the access token you gave your AI is what authorizes them, and you can revoke it any time.

## Every change is logged

Every change your AI makes is in **Activity**: who asked, which AI tool, what changed, before and after. A change your AI tried while its switch was off shows there too, with a link to turn the switch on. Most changes can be reversed from Activity for 7 days.

## How this works with your AI tool's own settings

Some AI tools also ask before using a tool (for example ChatGPT's per-app permission levels). That is the AI tool's setting. OpenAdManager's switches apply **on our server** on top of it, whatever the AI tool does. Some AI tool plans may not allow changes at all; that is the AI tool's limit, not OpenAdManager's.

## Check it worked

Ask your AI: "Use OpenAdManager: show my status." The answer lists which kinds of change are on and links to the switches.
