About Catalog Roles and Permissions

Last updated: September 2024

A catalog is a type of asset on TikTok Ads Manager. It allows you to store information about your products. When assigning roles and permissions to your members, they'll be able to automatically create a variety of ads.


Note: Only Business Center Admin members can assign permissions to catalogs. Learn how to add members to Business Center.


Each catalog can be assigned up to 100 Business Center users and each user must be assigned permission-level access. For example, an ad account and catalog should be linked to the same Business Center for users to use a Catalog for ad creation in Ads Manager.
