AAO for Org Admins

What organization admins can do — manage members, change tier, view billing, configure brand and agents.

AAO for Org Admins

This page is for the person at your company who manages the AgenticAdvertising.org account: seat allocation, billing, brand configuration, agent declarations. For end-user docs see AAO for Members. For Addie’s full tool list, see the Addie Tool Reference.

You’re an org admin if your account has the admin or owner role within your organization on AAO. The first person to set up a paid org is automatically the owner.

Membership tiers

All AAO memberships are annual Stripe subscriptions. Upgrades prorate automatically; downgrades take effect at the next renewal.

Tier	Price	Contributor seats	Community-only seats	Payment
Explorer	$50/yr	0	1	Credit card
Professional	$250/yr	1	1	Credit card
Builder	$2,500/yr	5	5	Credit card
Partner	$10,000/yr	10	50	Credit card or invoice
Leader	$50,000/yr	20+	Unlimited	Credit card or invoice

Contributor seats include Slack, working groups, voting rights, directory listing, and everything in community-only. Community-only seats include Addie, certification, training, regional chapters — for team members who need to learn but don’t need active collaboration access.

Manage seats

• Invite a teammate. Ask Addie “invite [email] to my org” — she sends a Stripe-backed seat invitation. You must be admin or owner.
• Promote / demote. Today this is escalation-only — ask Addie “set [email] as admin in my org” and she’ll route the request. We’re working on self-serve.
• Remove a member. Escalation; the team handles this carefully so no certification credit is lost.

Billing

• View invoices. Ask Addie “show my invoices” or visit agenticadvertising.org/dashboard/billing. Org admins see the full org billing history.
• Update payment method / billing address. Use the Stripe customer portal — link via “open my billing portal” (Addie has create_customer_portal_session).
• Generate an invoice or payment link. “Send me an invoice for Builder tier” triggers send_invoice → confirm → confirm_send_invoice.
• Apply a coupon. Tell Addie the coupon ID when generating the invoice.
• Upgrade tier. “Upgrade us to Partner” — Stripe prorates the difference for the remainder of the current period.
• Downgrade tier. Same flow; takes effect at next renewal.

For refunds, custom contracts, currency changes, or out-of-cycle credits, Addie escalates to a human.

Brand identity

Your brand.json published at /.well-known/brand.json is the canonical identity for your company in the AdCP ecosystem. AAO uses it to validate property authorizations and to enable agent discovery.

• Build a brand.json. agenticadvertising.org/brand is the visual builder.
• Verify domain ownership. Ask Addie “verify my brand for [domain]” — she issues a DNS challenge via request_brand_domain_challenge. Add the TXT record, then “check my brand verification” (verify_brand_domain_challenge).
• Property catalog. Properties listed in your brand.json are auto-discovered. To check what AAO has resolved for your domain, ask “what properties are resolved for [domain]?”.

Agent declarations (adagents.json)

If you’re a publisher, you publish /.well-known/adagents.json declaring which agents are authorized to sell your inventory.

• Build an adagents.json. agenticadvertising.org/adagents.
• Validate. Ask Addie “validate my adagents.json” — validate_adagents checks shape and resolves authorizations.
• Check a sales agent’s status. “What’s the status of [agent URL]?” runs get_agent_status, which returns the registry’s cached health, declared capabilities, and the most recent comply storyboard verdict per track. For an on-demand live test, ask Addie to “evaluate [agent URL]” — evaluate_agent_quality runs the comply suite right now.
• Listing not visible? First check: is your member profile complete and your tier active? Then: “check property resolution for [domain]” — Addie can diagnose whether the registry crawler picked up your file.

Working group and committee leadership

• Lead a working group. Working group leads can list_committee_documents, create_working_group_post, and approve/decline contributor membership requests.
• Council leadership. Council leads have attach_content_asset and propose_content permissions on council resources.

Ask Addie “what can I do as a [WG/council] lead?” and she’ll list the leader-only tools available to your role.

What Addie escalates rather than self-serves

• Tier changes outside the standard upgrade flow (custom contracts, prorations on invoice).
• Refunds, voids, or out-of-cycle credits.
• Member promotions / demotions / removals.
• Account merges or domain changes after onboarding.
• Anything involving deleted or orphaned data.

For these, Addie collects context and routes to the AAO team — usually with a 1–2 business day SLA.
