About Business Center roles and permissions
Business Center roles make sure that members can access the platform and use features that match their jobs in your organization. These roles are split into Basic and Advanced permissions.
Basic roles are Admin and Standard. Admins have full access to all system functions, and Standard members work on the accounts and assets they're given. Advanced roles, like Finance Analyst and Finance Manager, give extra permissions to view and manage the finances in your Business Center and the connected ad accounts.
Note: You'll need to assign an Advanced role to your Business Center Admins to view or manage finances.
