In Salesforce Media Cloud, the account object can be customized to represent different entities involved in the media and advertising ecosystem. The three record types for the account object include: Agency Account (A), Advertiser Account (B), and Publisher Account (C). These record types help in organizing and managing relationships and interactions with various stakeholders in the advertising process, such as agencies that represent advertisers, the advertisers themselves who are the clients looking to promote their products or services, and publishers who own the media space where the ads are displayed.References:

When partners report not seeing changes in the Experience Cloud site, the administrator should consider several factors to troubleshoot the issue. Firstly, ensure that the page variation containing the OmniScript is published (B). An unpublished page variation will not be visible to users. Secondly, check if the latest version of the OmniScript is enabled(C), as older versions may not reflect recent changes or functionalities. Lastly, verify that the audience for the page variation is correctly defined and assigned (E). The audience settings determine which subset of users can view the page variation. Incorrect audience assignment can lead to visibility issues for intended users.References:

Permission and license errors in migration typically arise because the target org lacks the required platform license definitions or add-on licenses, or because the admin user profile does not have the necessary permission set licenses assigned. The source org licenses don’t impact target org migration errors, and missing integration procedures/Data Raptors usually cause functional issues but not license errors.

To troubleshoot the "Apex CPU limit exceeded" error encountered when running the Advertising Sales Management Flow OmniScript in a Salesforce Experience site, a consultant should examine the DataRaptor configuration (C) and use the OmniScript Debugger (D).

To set up the visibility of opportunities in Salesforce Media Cloud such that sales reps only see their opportunities and managers see all opportunities under them, the organization-wide default (OWD) for the Opportunity object should be set to private (D). Then, configure the role hierarchy to ensure that managers can see the records owned by users in their reporting hierarchy. This setup leverages Salesforce's built-in role hierarchy model, where users at higher levels automatically have visibility into records owned by users at lower levels in their hierarchy without the need for additional sharing rules.References:
