Editing Your Account
In Lytics, an account represents all data, audiences, campaigns, and integrations. This is separate from account users, who may be a member of multiple accounts.
Finding & Editing Account Information
Under the account menu in the main navigation, find Account Settings.
You should see your account information such as the name of your account, domain, the account owner's email, and more.
At any time you can edit the name, domain and contact email from this page. Once you change one of these values you will be prompted to save or undo the changes.
Account ID and account number is never editable. They are assigned at account creation and are permanent identifiers.
Profile Access Control
Also under Account Settings, there is an option called Profile access control. On this page there is a setting called Allow access via API. Under almost every circumstance, should remain checked. Unchecking this option will make audience membership information unavailable in the public API requests that power personalization.
