What is Facebook Business Manager?
Business Manager is Meta’s tool for organizing assets (ad accounts, pixels, catalogs) and managing user permissions and partners.
Understanding Business Manager
Business Manager separates personal profiles from business assets so access and ownership stay clear. It centralizes user permissions, asset sharing, and security policies in one place. Verified domains and two‑factor authentication protect accounts from avoidable risk. Consistent naming for pixels, catalogs, and ad accounts prevents trafficking mistakes. Partners can be granted scoped access without transferring ownership.
A well‑structured Business Manager mirrors your legal and operational reality. Keep one Business Manager per legal entity and use partners for agencies. Organize assets by brand or region and document who owns what. Use system users and tokens for integrations rather than personal logins. Audit access quarterly and remove stale users promptly.
Why Business Manager matters
Business Manager matters because it safeguards assets while enabling collaboration. Proper roles and 2FA reduce risk from user turnover and phishing. Clear ownership and naming keep pixels and catalogs linked to the right accounts during growth.
- Security: Proper roles and 2FA reduce risk.
- Collaboration: Grant partner access safely.
- Organization: Keep pixels/catalogs linked to the right accounts.
How Business Manager works
Business Manager works by providing a central dashboard to create, own, and share assets like ad accounts, pixels, and catalogs. You assign roles with specific permissions and invite users with work emails. Partners receive access via requests without taking ownership. Verified domains, payment methods, and security settings live in Business Settings. System users and tokens handle API integrations securely. Regular audits and naming standards keep operations predictable.
