Once you’ve typed in your “friend’s” name and selected their profile, you’ll need to decide what level of access to give them.

  • Ad account analyst is basically read-only access. They’ll be able to see what is going on in your account, but they won’t be able to do anything in the account. This is great if someone is offering to conduct an audit of your account.
  • Ad account advertiser is probably the access level you’ll want to give people you want to help you run your campaigns. This will allow them to make changes to your campaigns, but they won’t be able to add or remove other users (like you), so it ensures that you stay in charge of your own account.
  • Ad account admin is the same level of authority and access that you have as the account owner. Unless someone really needs this level of access, this isn’t a level of access you should be regularly handing out.
