Steps to add an ad account in Facebook Business Manager:

  1. Go to Business Settings.

  2. Click Accounts and click Ad Accounts.

  3. Click + Add.

  4. Choose one of the 3 options: Add Ad AccountRequest Access to an Ad Account or Create a new ad account. See below for additional information.

  5. If you choose to request access or add an ad account, enter the ad account ID. Learn where to find the account ID (you would only do this if you do not own the ad account)

  • Add an Ad Account: Adding an ad account moves it permanently into Business Manager. You must be both the owner of the ad account and an admin in Business Manager to add the ad account. Please note, once you add an ad account and it's moved into your Business Manager, this action can't be reversed. All management of your ad account must be completed within your Business Manager profile. You can't add an ad account that's owned by another Business Manager. If you still want to work on an ad account that's owned by a different business, you can request access to it.

  • Request Access to an Ad Account: If you request access to an ad account in Business Manager, the admin of that Business Manager can grant you permission to work on it.

  • Create a new ad account: If you create a new ad account in Business Manager, it'll permanently belong to that Business Manager. Once created within Business Manager, the ad account can't be transferred to an individual owner who doesn't own a Business Manager.
