About Business Center roles and permissions

Last updated: May 2024

Roles specific to Business Center ensure that members can access Business Center and use features that correspond with the work they do in your organization. In Business Center, roles are separated between basic and advanced permissions.

Basic roles within Business Center include Admin and Standard. Every member of your Business Center needs to be assigned one of these roles. Admins can manage the Business Center's members and assets, while Standard members can only work on the ad accounts they've been assigned to.

Advanced roles include Finance Analyst and Finance Manager. This additional permission will give the members of your Business Center the ability to view or manage the finances of your Business Center and the connected ad accounts.

Note: You'll need to assign this role to your Business Center Admins to view or manage finances.
