Business portfolio assets and their task-based permissions

Business portfolio assets and their task-based permissions

Some features may not be available to you yet.

When someone is added to a business portfolio, they must be assigned the Facebook Page, ad account, catalog or business assets that you want them to manage before they can access them. You can give them partial access or full control of an asset. If you assign partial access, you must choose the specific permissions to give them based on the tasks you want them to work on.

Learn more about how to add people to a business portfolio and assign a business asset. You can change someone’s permissions for a business asset at any time.

Permissions available for each business asset

Select a business asset to see the permissions available. This will help you assign only the permissions someone needs to do their work.
