Abstract
A first online system allows a user to create content items for presentation in a second online system without having an account in the second online system. The first online system maintains identifying information associated with users of the first online system. The first online system may also maintain a set of permissions identifying users of the first online system authorized to create content items associated with each user of the first online system. Based on the information, the first online system enables its users to create content items for presentation to users of the second online system without requiring the users to create accounts on the second online system. The content items may include one or more types of objects maintained by the first online system that help identify the user associated with the content item.
