Add an Ad Account in Business Manager

Add an Ad Account in Business Manager

In your Business Manager, you can add ad accounts that you own and get access to ad accounts that other people or businesses own. In the Ad Accounts section of Business Settings, you’ll see ad accounts that you own and ad accounts, which are owned by others and that you have access to. If an ad account is owned by another person or business, you’ll see the name of the person or business who owns the ad account listed below the ad account name. 

Steps to add an ad account in Business Manager:

1. Go to Business Settings.
2. Click Accounts from the left side menu. Then, click Ad Accounts.
3. Click the blue Add dropdown menu.
4. Choose one of the 3 options: Add an Ad Account, Request Access to an Ad Account or Create a new ad account.
5. If you choose to request access or add an ad account, enter the ad account ID. 
6. Follow the prompts to select people and access levels.

You can’t add an ad account to a Business Manager if:

1. The ad account you’re trying to add has already been added by another business. An ad account can only be owned by one Business Manager. Instead, you can request access to the ad account.

2.You have already added a personal ad account to Business Manager. You can only add one ad account from your personal Facebook account into Business Manager. Instead, you can create a new ad account in Business Manager or you can request access to another ad account.

3.You’ve reached your ad account limit for adding new ad accounts to your business. There’s currently no available option to request more ad accounts. Your ad account limit increases based on your advertising spend.

 4.The ad account is a prepaid ad account. Prepaid ad accounts can be added to Business Managers only if they’re from certain locations.

5.You don’t have admin access in Business Manager.
