Business Manager access across all your Facebook profiles
Short answer: Multitool ADS lists the Business Managers of every connected Facebook profile with their people, ad accounts, Pages, datasets and partners. Give a person access to many assets at once with the same access levels Meta's own form uses, remove access, manage Page partners, and see which of your profiles can do what with each asset.
How access works in Meta's business settings
In Meta, access is given inside one business portfolio (Business Manager) at a time: open the business settings, go to the people in the business, pick a person and assign assets to them, one asset type at a time, choosing an access level for each. With five Business Managers and a new team member, that is five rounds of the same form, and nothing shows the whole picture afterwards.
What Multitool ADS adds
- Every Business Manager in one place. The businesses of all connected profiles, each with its people, ad accounts, Pages, datasets and partners.
- Access to many assets in one step. Pick a person and several assets. The levels are the ones Meta uses: for an ad account, full control or partial access (manage campaigns, view performance, Creative Hub mockups); for a Page, full or partial access; a dataset is always given in full.
- Each asset gets what its business can give. A Business Manager cannot grant more than it holds itself, so in a mixed selection every asset receives the highest level available to it.
- Remove access to an asset, or remove a person from the business.
- Partners. See the partners with access to your assets and the partners whose assets you can reach; give and revoke Page partner access. As in Meta, partners are managed by business admins.
Which profile can do what
For every ad account, Page, Business Manager and dataset, Multitool ADS keeps a map of which connected profile has which rights: ad account tasks, Page tasks, admin or employee role in a business.
- All profiles selected: you see every asset any profile can reach, and an action goes through a profile that has the right for it.
- One profile selected: you see only that profile's assets with its own rights, and every action is made on its behalf. A button the profile cannot use is disabled and says why.
- Lost access stays visible. An asset a profile can no longer reach stays in its list as unavailable instead of silently disappearing, so you know where a role was lost.
When this saves the day
An ad account stops accepting changes, a new media buyer joins, a contractor leaves: each of these starts with the same question, "which profile and which business can reach this asset". With many profiles the answer is spread across several Business Managers; here it is one screen.
