Facebook Pages
AutomaticGiven through Meta’s API.
Your client signs in with Facebook, picks the Page in a dropdown and confirms. Meta’s API then shares the Page with your Business Manager as a partner, at the level you asked for. Nobody types an ID or opens Business settings.
In preview: sign-up is by invitation, and until Meta and Google approve the app, it works with simulated and test accounts only.
What you can ask for
You pick one level when you create the link. Each is shown with Meta’s own name for it.
- ViewInsightsSee how the Page performs. Cannot post, advertise, reply or change anything.
- StandardAds, InsightsRun ads for the Page and see how it performs. Cannot post, reply to messages or change settings. A new link starts here.
- AdminFull controlPosts, comments, ads, insights, settings and who has access to the Page. Not messages. Needs a verified agency.
What you give us once
Nothing typed. You sign in with Facebook once and pick the Business Manager that receives access. Its name and ID are read from Meta.
What your client needs
A Facebook profile with full control of the business portfolio the Page is in.
If the person who opens the link is not that person, the same link works for whoever is.
When it counts as given
Your client signs in, picks the account and confirms. Meta’s API gives the access, and your dashboard shows it as given.
Removing the access later
The access is given on Meta, so it is removed there. Your client does this:
- In Meta Business Suite, open Settings for your business portfolio, then Partners. You need full control of the portfolio.
- Select the agency, choose Options, then Remove from business portfolio.
- Choose Remove partner. This removes the agency as a partner of your business portfolio.
What to check on every platform when an agency leaves is in How to remove an old agency's access to your Meta and Google accounts.

Questions
Which Pages can my client pick?
The Pages of the business portfolio they choose after signing in. A Page that sits in another business portfolio is shown with the reason it cannot be shared from here.
Does the access include the Page’s messages?
No. The highest level, Full control, covers posts, comments, ads, insights, settings and who has access to the Page, but not messages.
What if the person who opens the link cannot share the Page?
The box says that only someone with full control of the business portfolio can give a partner access. They send the same link to that person, and what they have done so far stays.
