In Meta Business Suite, you can give people access to your business portfolio and specific assets — like Facebook Pages, Instagram accounts, ad accounts, apps, or Meta Pixels.
The key is to only assign the permissions people need to do their job. That keeps your portfolio safer and easier to manage.
Here’s how it works
When you add someone to your business portfolio, you can assign partial access or full control. You can also add advanced options, like financial access.
1 Partial access options
Basic access (previously “employee”):
People with basic access can see who has full control but can only work on the assets assigned to them. This is the default access level.
Note: Someone may have full control of a single asset but not over the entire portfolio.
Apps & integrations (previously “developer”):
These users can manage things like the Conversions API, monitor events, edit apps, and create access tokens.
2 Full control
Everything: People with full control (previously “business admin”) can manage everything in your portfolio — settings, users, assets, and tools. They can:
Add or remove people and assets
Manage permissions and shared access
View all assets and portfolio data
Even delete the portfolio if needed
Advanced option: They can also assign themselves advanced options, which provide extra permissions beyond full control.
Financial access:
Users with financial access can:
View or manage financial data like invoices, transactions, and account spending
Edit payment methods or billing details
This used to be known as the “finance editor” or “finance analyst” role.
Temporary access:
You can grant someone temporary access for 3 to 75 days. Once the expiration date is reached, their access is automatically removed from both the portfolio and all assets. Note: this feature is currently available only in Meta Business Suite.
Access to specific assets
When assigning someone to a business asset (like a Facebook Page, ad account, or Meta Pixel), you can again choose between partial access and full control:
Partial access:
Lets someone perform certain actions — for example:
Create or manage posts and ads
Reply to messages
View analytics and insights
Full control:
Allows full management of the asset, including:
Assigning or removing access for others
Deleting the asset from the portfolio
Note: If your organization is a partner with partial access to a shared asset, you can only assign those same limited permissions to people in your own portfolio. If you need broader access, you’ll have to request it from the asset’s owner.
Why it matters
Understanding and managing access correctly keeps your business secure. It ensures each team member (or partner) has exactly what they need — no more, no less. That means fewer risks, fewer mistakes, and smoother collaboration.
It’s a simple structure that helps you stay in control of your digital assets and your team.
