# How to give an agency access to your Meta ad account and Page

Your agency asks for access to your Meta ad account, Facebook Page or pixel. The right way is to share them with the
agency's **business portfolio**: you keep ownership, you choose what they can do, and you can remove access any time.
Never send your Facebook password.

## What you need

- The agency's **Business ID** (a number of about 15 to 16 digits). Ask them for it.
- Admin rights in your own business portfolio. If you do not see **Settings** in Meta Business Suite, ask whoever set
  it up.

## Steps

1. Open [Meta Business Suite › Settings](https://business.facebook.com/latest/settings).
2. Go to **Users › Partners** and click **Add**, then **Give a partner access to your assets**.
3. Enter the agency's Business ID.
4. Choose the assets: your ad account, Page, dataset (pixel) and, if asked, Instagram account. For each, choose what the
   agency may do. For running ads, the agency usually needs to **manage campaigns** on the ad account and to
   **create ads** on the Page.
5. Confirm. The agency sees the assets in their portfolio right away.

## What the agency can and cannot do

The agency gets exactly the permissions you chose, for the assets you chose. It does not get your password, your other
assets, or ownership. Billing stays yours unless you add the agency's payment method yourself.

## Remove access later

Same place: **Settings › Users › Partners**, pick the agency, and remove the assets or the partner.


## Frequently asked questions

### Does the agency get access to my billing?

No. Billing stays yours unless you add the agency's payment method yourself.

### How do I remove the agency again?

In Meta Business Suite › Settings › Users › Partners, choose the agency and remove the assets or the partner.

## The quicker way

If your agency sends you an Agency Client Onboarding link, you sign in with Meta on Meta's own page, tick the accounts
and confirm; the agency sees at once what is ready. It takes about five minutes and never asks for a password.
