The Roles In Facebook Business Manager

Facebook’s business manager uses a two layer access system. You can add co-workers to your Business Manager at the first level. Second, to allow access to your assets, using task-based permissions.

Add co-workers to your business manager:

You can assign two types of access,

1. Admin access: By giving someone admin access you give them full control over the business. Meaning they can edit settings, people, accounts and tools.
2. Employee access: Unlike admin access, employee access only allows people to work on assigned accounts and tools.

It also has advanced option for financial roles,

1. Finance analyst: This access allows the financial analysts to work with the transactions, invoices, account spend and payment method data.
2. Finance editor: They have the ability to edit business credit card information as well as financial facts like transactions, invoices, account expenditure, and payment methods.

Grant people access to assets:

After adding people to Business Manager, you can go to Business settings and grant them access to your company's assets. You can grant specific task access to each person and asset. You can grant permission to your employees to create ads, but not to publish them. Each asset's tasks are divided into two groups:

1. Standard access: Grant access on tasks on each employee you would like to perform.
2. Admin access: By granting admin access you allow the person to manage all the assets and perform the tasks.

Add partners:
