Steps for granting access to your Facebook Ads Account
No matter the case, the process for giving access to an ad account is generally the same. Following Facebook’s own instructions can sometimes be a bit tricky, so we’ve attempted to simplify the steps below:
Invite a user to work on your business by going to Business Manager Settings >> People and clicking + Add
Enter the user's email address. Make sure Employee access is the option selected and then click Next
Under Select Assets select the page which will be associated with the ads that will be created. Then under Set Permissions, toggle the slider to the right of Create Ads.
Under Select Asset Type, select Ad Accounts. Then under Select Assets, select the ad account. Under Set Permissions, select Manage Campaigns, and then click Invite.
After this, the invitee will receive an email with a link (and possibly a Facebook notification if the email address is tied to her Facebook account) and prompts that allows her to accept your invitation.
That’s it! And if you find yourself needing an audit of your Facebook Ads account, or you need automate some reporting that includes Facebook Ads data, don’t hesitate to reach out to us!
