Add your ad accounts to Business Manager

Last updated: 1 month ago

Add your ad accounts to Business Manager allows you to centrally view and manage the people and partners who have access to your ad accounts. By adding your ad accounts to Business Manager, you can:

  • Add or remove people from ad accounts at scale.  
  • View and manage monthly invoicing for your ad accounts.  
  • Share assets across ad accounts, such as Matched Audiences, allow lists, and block lists.

You can add up to 1,000 ad accounts to your Business Manager, and we recommend you start by adding the active ad accounts you currently use. If you create a new ad account, it won’t automatically be added to Business Manager. You’ll need to add the account to Business Manager after it’s been created.

Who can use this feature?

You must be a Business Manager admin to add ad accounts to Business Manager.  

To claim ad accounts that your organization owns to your Business Manager:

  1. Sign in to Business Manager.

  2. Click Ad accounts in the left menu.

  3. Click the Add accounts dropdown menu in the upper-right corner of the page and select Claim ownership (ID).

  4. In the pop-up window that appears, enter IDs for ad accounts owned by your business with a space between each account ID. 

    • The ad account ID is under the account name in the upper-left corner of the page in Campaign Manager.
  5. Click the Add button.

  6. Review the summary of added accounts and click Got it.

To claim ad accounts that your organization owns to your Business Manager through a CSV file:

  2. Click Ad accounts in the left menu.

  3. Click the Add accounts dropdown menu in the upper-right corner of the page and select Claim ownership (CSV).

  4. Click Add ad accounts CSV template in the pop-up window that appears to download the file.

  5. In the CSV file, input each nine-digit ad account IDs for all the ad accounts you want to add to Business Manager on separate rows. 

    • The ad account ID is under the account name in the upper-left corner of the page in Campaign Manager.
  6. Save the CSV file to your computer.

  7. Click the Continue button in the pop-up window.

  8. Click Browse and upload CSV file to upload the CSV file from your computer.

  9. Click the Add button.

  10. Review the summary of added accounts and click Got it.

After an ad account has been claimed, account managers on the ad account will receive an email notification asking them to approve the Business Manager request. If the Business Manager admin who added the ad account is already an account manager of that ad account, the request will automatically be approved to add it to their Business Manager.

Once an ad account is approved, it will appear in the list of accounts on the Ad Accounts page in Business Manager.
