# Enable advertiser rules

`POST https://YOUR-NETWORK-DOMAIN/rest-api/rules/advertiser/{advertiserId}/enable.do`

Activates the targeting rules engine for the specified advertiser, allowing its configured rule groups to take effect during ad serving. The advertiser is identified by its numeric ID in the URL path. The response is a JSON object with 'success: true' on success. Requires the caller to have UPDATE permission on the advertiser's campaign share and CAMPAIGN_RULES_MANAGEMENT permission. The action is logged for audit purposes. POST only: a GET answers 405, since a state change over GET can be triggered by a prefetch or an embedded link.
