What can each role do?
Last updated: 31 October 2026 · The MargenOptimierer app is in German. Button and menu names are shown exactly as you see them, with the English meaning in brackets.
Every member of your company has one of three roles. With the Nur lesen (read only) role you see all numbers and invoices and write support tickets, but you change nothing. The Mitarbeiter (staff) role can also change bids, budgets, costs and targets and send changes to OTTO. The Admin role can also invite colleagues, assign roles and add the payment details, and your company's owner always has this role.
Jede Rolle sieht alle Zahlen, ein Mitarbeiter ändert dazu Werbung und Kosten, ein Admin verwaltet dazu Mitglieder und Zahlung.
How it works
This is how you change a member's role. The owner and the admins can do this.
- Open Einstellungen (settings) and then the Mitglieder (members) tab.
- Open the menu at the right edge of the member's row and click Rolle ändern (change role).
- Choose the new role in the window. Below the selection it says what the role can do.
- Click Speichern (save).
Example: Three roles in one company
You sell garden furniture, there are three of you, and you're your company's owner. Your ad manager gets the Mitarbeiter role and lowers the bids of keywords that are too expensive in Optimierung (optimization). Your bookkeeper gets the Nur lesen role. She sees the margin and downloads the invoices, and she can't change anything.
What only certain people can do
What only the owner can do
The owner isn't a fourth role. Only the owner can cancel the subscription and transfer ownership to another member, and an admin can't do that. Nobody can change the owner's role.
Consenting and objecting
If a message asks for your company's consent, the owner or an admin gives it. Only they can object to an announced price increase, too. What an objection means for your contract is stated in the message.
Support for a limited time
When you write a support ticket, you can give MargenOptimierer's support access to your company. Everyone except the Nur lesen role can do this. Up to and including the day you choose, support is an admin of your company and has its own row among the members. Support can do everything an admin can, except change support access and consent to a message.
