Use Business Units with Distributed Marketing
If you use Marketing Cloud Engagement business units to manage content by categories - like brand, line of business, or region - you can add them to Distributed Marketing to support unique groups of business users. Then, use sharing rules and campaign marketplace to manage the content that groups of sellers, partners, distributors, or agents can access. You can set up business unit access for both Distributed Marketing administrators and standard users in Salesforce Setup. Business users do not require unique Marketing Cloud Engagement logins.
Once configured, Distributed Marketing respects defined visibility for campaign sends and Quick Send. If a user is granted access to a campaign using a journey that exists in a business unit that the user doesn’t have access to, the user can’t view or send content from that campaign. Similarly, users can’t see Quick Send messages from business units they do not have access to.
- Add Business Units to Your Org
After installing the Distributed Marketing managed package, you can add up to 200 business units to your account. You can choose which users to share the business units with to control access to content. Distributed Marketing uses named principal authentication with the OAuth 2.0 protocol. - Share Business Units
Use sharing rules to manage business unit access per user, or allow all Marketing Cloud Engagement distributed marketing business users to access content from any added business unit. - Use Business Units with Content Marketplace
Create content marketplaces that display Campaigns or Quick Send messages connected to journeys from a specific business unit by including its name in the marketplace’s filter criteria. - Remove Business Units
Want to clean up your business units? You can remove a business unit as long as none of its journeys are enabled as a Quick Send or in use by a campaign. - Refresh Authentication
Authenticated tokens are used to manage access to individual Marketing Cloud Engagement business units. Tokens are periodically refreshed to ensure a secure connection. If a token fails to refresh, you can manually reconnect the business unit.
