Security notifications: Make sure the responsible administrator can receive and act on relevant account-security alerts.

Microsoft explains how multifactor authentication adds another layer of protection and describes supported verification methods.

A practical example

Imagine that a seller supplies a username and password and promises to change the recovery information later. The buyer begins running campaigns immediately, but the seller still receives security notifications and can initiate account recovery.

The buyer may have operational access without durable control. If the relationship deteriorates or the account is compromised, advertising could stop unexpectedly.

The appropriate solution is not to collect more of the seller's personal credentials. Instead, establish access through an authorized business account, use supported administrative controls, and ensure that recovery procedures remain under the legitimate account holder's control.

If the account relies on a personal Microsoft login that cannot appropriately be transferred, do not assume that changing a few settings makes the arrangement safe.

4. Review User Roles and Administrative Permissions

A secure advertising setup should give every person the access required for their work without granting unnecessary control over the entire account.

Microsoft Advertising supports multiple users and different permission levels. Depending on the assigned role, a user may be able to manage campaigns, view reports, perform certain billing tasks, or administer account settings.

This matters when assessing an account previously used by a business, freelancer, or advertising agency. A long list of users does not necessarily mean the account is compromised, but unexplained access can indicate poor administration.
