Ads Restricted Metrics Best Practices
Updated
Things to Remember
The User or User Group will be notified that an administrator has restricted specific metrics.
If a widget that was created before metrics were restricted and contain a restricted metric, the widget will not populate. If you refresh these widgets, you will get an error message that the widget contains a restricted metric. Only when the metric is removed will the widget populate.
You will not be able to search the Restricted metrics while creating a new widget.
Once restricted, the metrics will not populate in the Ads Manager Customized Columns as well.
Custom Metrics comprising of a restricted metric will not be available for the restricted user.
After an administrator restricts metrics, it will be updated in the restricted user or user group within five minutes after clicking Save.
Users, who have restricted reporting enabled and try to use time filters before the permissioned date, will receive the following error: "Reporting is restricted for the current user. Please select a start time not less than "20XX-XX-XX". The date will be the acceptable date that the user can view.
