Are you finding yourself perplexed by the Meta Business Suite and Business Manager?
It’s not uncommon to feel confused about their individual purposes and functionalities, as well as the disparity between the two tools. While there is speculation that the Meta Business Suite might replace the Business Manager, the transition remains unclear. Currently, Meta emphasizes that these tools are meant to work “alongside each other.”
As the Meta Business Suite has been introduced, navigating between the tools, managing access, and locating specific features can be a perplexing experience. In this blog, we’ll shed light on these intricacies, helping you unravel the complexities of the Meta Business Suite and Business Manager integration.
The Meta Business Suite is basically a tool that Facebook added in 2020 to help you manage Facebook and Instagram in one place. The Meta Business Suite is primarily used to:
You can also access other tools like the Leads center, Ads, Commerce, and get into the Business Manager.
When you are in the Meta Business Suite, you should see that indicated in the upper left corner. You see the main menu items on the left sidebar but then there are many more tools you can access in the All Tools selection.
The Business Manager is a tool that was introduced in 2014 and it was introduced as a central place to manage access to Facebook Ad Accounts and Pages. It was also introduced as a safe way for Agencies to work on client accounts through Partner access.
According to Meta, the Business Manager is a place to:
Maintain control, security and privacy of your Facebook and Instagram assets by managing your Meta Business Account on Meta Business Manager.
Using the Business Manager is optional, but if you are advertising on Facebook or Instagram, you do need it in order to do the following things:
In order to upload a list of your customers, you do need to use the Business Manager.
If you have been added as a personal profile into multiple Business Managers, then you may see a different menu.
It’s important to note that these roles and access levels can be customized and modified by the Business Manager or higher-level admins. The level of access and actions permitted may vary depending on the permissions granted by the page owner or the Business Manager admin.
It’s recommended to assign roles and access levels carefully to ensure that users have the appropriate permissions required for their responsibilities while maintaining the security and integrity of the Facebook assets.
Among the Page manager roles, the admin holds the highest level of authority and access. Their privileges extend to managing and assigning all other Page roles and settings. Due to security considerations, it is crucial for businesses to exercise strict limitations when granting the admin role. Essentially, an admin possesses the capabilities of all other roles, enabling them to perform any task or function within the Page, including:
When you add people to your Business Account, you can assign partial access or full control. You can also assign an advanced option.
People with advanced options can work on tasks assigned to them in addition to the access they have with full control or partial access.
When you assign people to work on a business asset (such as an ad account, Facebook Page, Instagram account, Meta Pixel or catalog), you can give them partial access or full control of that asset.
