Control access to designer features

  • Article

Important

The designer is only available in real-time journeys. It is not available in outbound marketing.

Designer feature protection lets you control which users have access to which features of the content designers, including in the email, marketing page, form, and content-block designers. You can use these settings to block access by any user or group to one or both of the following designer features:

  • The designer HTML tab: Users with access to the HTML tab can work with all aspects of the HTML code that goes into your designs. By blocking access to this tab, you'll make sure that design elements that you mark as locked in the HTML code (and all content outside of design elements) won't be editable by certain (or most) users. Content-block elements provide an easy setting that enables you to lock or unlock them, but you can also lock any design element by adding the data-protected="true" HTML attribute to its opening <div> tag.

  • Litmus inbox previews: The email designer's inbox preview feature provides pixel-perfect previews that show exactly what your design will look like when rendered in nearly any specific client/browser/platform combination. This feature is provided by a company called Litmus and requires that users purchase an extra license once your organization has used more than a certain number of previews (see your Dynamics 365 Customer Insights - Journeys license agreement for details). You might choose to limit access to this feature to help manage costs and/or to have better control over who gets to use your organization's free previews. A maximum of 100 Litmus email previews can be generated per month.

To control access to these designer features:

  1. Go to Settings > Email marketing > Designer feature protection. This opens a list of currently defined protection rules, each of which shows which user or group is being denied access to which features. Each row sets a rule for exactly one user or group.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • To edit an existing rule, select it from the list and then choose Edit from the command bar (or double-click on it).
    • To create a new rule, select + New on the command bar.
    • To delete or deactivate an existing rule, select it from the list and then choose Delete or Deactivate from the command bar.

  3. If you choose to edit or create, a form opens where you can work with your rule. Make the following settings:

    • Team: To apply protection to all members of a team, choose a team name from this lookup field. Each rule can apply only to one team or one user.
    • User: To apply protection to a specific user, choose a user name from this lookup field. Each rule can apply only to one team or one user.
    • Blocked features: Use this lookup field to choose which features you want to hide from the specified user or team: HTML, Litmus, or both.

  4. Save your settings.
