Having trouble accessing a newly added account or Business Manager?

If you've just set up a new account or connected a new Business Manager (BM) and can't access it due to a permissions error, follow this guide to fix the issue quickly.

Overview of the permission issue after connecting a new BM

Why This Happens

When you add a newly purchased Business Manager (BM) to your Meta account, it is common for it to have no ad accounts assigned. As a result, you may see the following message:

"You don't have permission to access any ad accounts."

You don't have permission to access any ad accounts message

This does not necessarily mean there is a problem with your Business Manager. In most cases, it simply means that your user account has not yet been granted access to the ad account.

To resolve this, you can easily assign the necessary permissions to yourself by following the steps below.

Step 1

Go to your ads account → select the ads account you would like to access → press Assign people.

Go to Ads Account and press Assign people

Step 2
