How to Grant Access to Business Manager: Roles and Levels
To understand how to grant access to Facebook Business Manager, open Business Manager → Company Settings → Users → People, click "Invite," and enter your email address. Select a role—Administrator or Employee—and specify access to advertising accounts, pages, catalogs, and pixels. After confirming the invitation, the person will receive permissions.
1. Admin vs Employee
Question: What is the difference between an Admin and an Employee?
Answer:
-
Administrator — full control: manages access, changes settings, adds and removes users.
-
Employee — limited permissions: can launch ads and work with reports but cannot change company settings.
2. Project Permissions
Question: Is it possible to grant access only to specific resources?
Answer:
Yes. When deciding how to grant access to Facebook Business Manager for a specific employee, you can select only the required assets — ad accounts, pages, catalogs, and pixels. This helps hide unnecessary data, such as payment information.
3. Revoking Access
Question: How do I revoke access in Business Manager?
Answer:
Go to Business Settings → Users or “Partners,” select the person, and click “Remove.” All permissions will be revoked immediately, while the assets will remain with you.
Tip: Regularly review the list of users and permissions in Business Manager, especially after granting Facebook Business Manager access to external contractors.
