  • Clients' visibility to publishers can be controlled using the sellerVisible property, impacting their ability to receive proposals directly from publishers.

  • partnerClientId provides a means to assign unique identifiers to clients, facilitating mapping to your internal systems.

You can create representations of your clients with the clients resource.

For example, if a client’s role is set to CLIENT_DEAL_APPROVER, they can independently do the following in the Authorized Buyers Marketplace UI:

  • Initiate new proposals.

  • Approve proposals.

To learn more about client roles and what they can access in the Authorized Buyers Marketplace UI, see ClientRole.

Visibility

Your clients aren’t visible to publishers, and don’t receive proposals initiated by publishers unless sellerVisible is set to True.

A Client that isn't visible to publishers can still access Marketplace features that are available to their role. For example, a Client that isn't sellerVisible can view proposals you initiate on their behalf.

Identification

You can provide a unique identifier for each Client with partnerClientId.

For example, you might want to use partnerClientId to map a Client to your own identifier for the client the Client represents.
