Frequently asked questions about Facebook Business Manager

What is the difference between Facebook Business Manager and Meta Business Suite?

They are two interfaces for managing the same underlying business assets. Business Manager is the older, more settings-focused interface typically used by agencies and advertisers managing multiple accounts. Meta Business Suite is Meta’s newer unified dashboard that combines page management, messaging, ads, and insights in one place. Both allow you to add people and assign roles, and both are accessible from the same login.

What happens if I add someone as an Admin by mistake?

You can remove or change their role at any time by going to Business Settings, clicking People under Users, selecting the person, and adjusting or removing their access. Do this immediately if you assign the wrong role, since Admins have full control over your business account including the ability to add and remove other people.

Can I add someone to Facebook Business Manager without giving them access to my ad account?

Yes. Adding someone to your Business Manager and granting them access to specific assets like your ad account or Facebook page are two separate steps. You can add a person to your Business Manager and then choose exactly which assets they can see and what they can do within those assets.

What should I do if the person I invited never received the email?

Ask them to check their spam or junk folder first. If it’s not there, go back to Business Settings, find the pending invitation under People, and resend it. Make sure you used the email address associated with their Facebook account, as invitations sent to a different email may not connect properly.

Is it safe to give my social media agency Admin access?

It depends on your level of trust with the agency and how long you have worked with them. Admin access gives them the ability to manage all assets, add and remove people, and change settings. Many agencies request Admin access for efficiency, but you can also grant them Editor or Advertiser access depending on what they actually need to do. If you are onboarding a new agency, starting with more limited access and expanding it over time is a reasonable approach.
