Configuration
This page lists the settings that change how CityScreen Context behaves, in one place.
It is for whoever administers an organization — its owner or admin. Each entry says what the setting does, which screen it lives on, which role may change it, and the value it starts with. Where another page explains a setting, the entry here is one line and a link.
Two conventions apply throughout.
Roles named in the Who column are employee roles unless the entry says platform administrator, which is a separate role belonging to the operator of the installation and not to any organization.
Screens are named by their route — /settings/common, for example — where the setting lives on a screen inside the client cabinet.
Organization settings
Client cabinet, /settings/common.
Six settings, all of them owner or admin, all of them audited with their before and after values.

The base address the platform pulls the catalog, pushes creatives and pulls playout from. |

none |
The credential the platform presents to the content management system. It is not the same credential as the access token, and the two point in opposite directions. |
Operator identifier |
none |
Identifies the operator to the content management system, and is also checked against the identifier sent with every ad request. |
Additional parameters |
none |
Which extra fields exist depends on the integration type, which the platform administrator fixes on the organization. |
Saving these settings puts the organization into the scheduled catalog pull and playout pull. Connect your CMS walks the whole procedure; Synchronization describes what the pull does.
Demand partners
Client cabinet, /settings/agencies.
Owner, admin or manager, and the platform administrator on behalf of an organization.
A demand partner has to exist on the instance before an organization can enable it. Registering one is platform administrator work.

|---|---|---|
Enabled, per partner |
off |
Nothing is offered to a partner an organization has not enabled. |
Per-partner credentials and address fields |
none |
Which fields appear depends on the partner’s integration type. |
Access token |
generated with the organization |
The credential the operator’s own systems use to send ad requests. Reissuing it is owner or admin and re-asks for your own password. |
See Managing demand partners and Access tokens.
