Grant Us Access to Your Meta (Facebook & Instagram) Ads
There are two ways to give us access to your Meta ad account. Pick whichever suits you best.
| Option | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Option A | Add our head of paid media to your Business Portfolio as an Admin | Quick setup, we handle the rest |
| Option B | Share specific assets (ad accounts, pages, pixels) with our Business Portfolio using our partner ID | More granular control over what we can access |
What you'll need
- Access to your Meta Business Portfolio (formerly Business Manager) at business.facebook.com
- Admin access to your Business Portfolio
- Two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled on your Facebook account
- About 10 minutes
Option A: Add our team lead to your Business Portfolio
This is the quickest approach. You add our head of paid media as an Admin to your Business Portfolio, and we take care of assigning ourselves to the right assets (ad accounts, pages, pixels) from there.
Who to add
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| amine@geekytech.co.uk | |
| Role | Admin |
Step 1: Open Business Settings
- Go to business.facebook.com and sign in.
- If you manage multiple businesses, pick the right one from the dropdown in the top-left.
- Click Settings (gear icon) in the bottom-left sidebar.
Step 2: Go to People
- In the left menu under Users, click People.
Step 3: Add our team lead
- Click the blue Add button.
- Enter the email address: amine@geekytech.co.uk
- Select Admin access.
- Click Invite.
That's it from your side. Amine will accept the invite and handle connecting everything up.
What does Admin access allow?
| Permission | Included? |
|---|---|
| View and manage ad accounts | Yes |
| Create and manage campaigns | Yes |
| Access pages, pixels, and other assets | Yes |
| Add and remove people | Yes |
| Modify business settings | Yes |
| Change billing/payment details | Yes |
TIP
Admin access doesn't transfer ownership. You're still the Business Portfolio owner and can change or remove permissions anytime.
Option B: Share assets with our Business Portfolio
If you'd prefer to keep tighter control, you can share specific assets (ad accounts, pages, pixels) with our Business Portfolio directly. This way, you choose exactly what we can access.
Our Business Portfolio details
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Business name | GT Business Manager |
| Business Portfolio ID | 514506582305534 |
Step 1: Open Business Settings
- Go to business.facebook.com and sign in.
- If you manage multiple businesses, pick the right one from the dropdown in the top-left.
- Click Settings (gear icon) in the bottom-left sidebar.
Step 2: Go to Partners
- In the left menu under Users, click Partners.
Step 3: Add us as a partner
- Click the blue Add button.
- Select "Give a partner access to your assets".
- Enter our Business Portfolio ID: 514506582305534
- Click Next.
Step 4: Assign assets
You'll see a list of assets you can share with us. Here's what we typically need:
| Asset type | What to share | Permission level |
|---|---|---|
| Ad accounts | Your main ad account(s) | Advertiser (or Admin if you'd like us to manage users too) |
| Pages | Your Facebook page | Manage Page |
| Pixels | Your Meta Pixel | Manage Pixel |
| Instagram accounts | Your Instagram business account (if applicable) | Manage |
Select the assets and permissions, then click Save Changes.
Step 5: We accept the partnership
Once you've sent the request:
- We'll see it in our Business Portfolio under Partners > Requests.
- We accept the partnership.
- The assets you shared become available to our team.
We'll let you know once everything's connected.
What do these asset permissions allow?
Ad account roles:
| Role | What they can do |
|---|---|
| Admin | Full access to the ad account, including managing users |
| Advertiser | Create and manage ads, view performance, manage budgets |
| Analyst | View reports and performance data only |
Page roles:
| Role | What they can do |
|---|---|
| Manage Page | Full control over page content, messages, and ads |
| Create Content | Publish posts and stories, respond to messages |
| Moderate | Respond to comments and messages |
| Advertise | Create ads from the page |
| Analyse | View page insights only |
Which option should I pick?
| Option A | Option B | |
|---|---|---|
| Setup time | Faster | Takes a bit longer |
| Your control | We have broad access | You pick exactly what we see |
| Best when | You want us to handle everything | You want to manage permissions yourself |
Both options work well. If you're not sure, Option A is the easiest and we can always adjust later.
What happens next?
Once access is set up:
- Our paid media team can start managing your Meta ad campaigns.
- You stay the Business Portfolio owner. You're in full control and can change permissions or remove access anytime.
- Billing stays with you. We don't get access to your payment methods unless you specifically grant it.
- We'll confirm everything's connected and ready to go.
