a step-by-step guide on how to add people on your Facebook Business Manager account

●  To get started, click the Add People button.

●  Enter the business email address. You can enter more than one email address if you want.

●  You’ll then need to assign a business role to each user you want to add. Choose whether you want a user to get employee access or admin access by ticking the toggle button beside each business role. For safety reasons, you should only add users to your account if they are a part of your organisation. However, if you want to give someone outside of your organisation full access to your Business Manager (e.g. partner, agency, etc.), select Admin access. Note: In your case, you should give admin access to contact@lovemyonlinemarketing.com

●  Once you’re done adding users and setting their roles, click Next.

●  Now, it’s time to assign access to assets (Pages, Ad Accounts, and Catalogs).

●  Choose the assets you want to give users access to.

●  Choose the level of access they need.

●  Once you’re done, click the Invite button. They will receive an email inviting them to the Page, Ad Account, or Catalog that you've added them to.

●  If you want to add more users, click Add More. If you’re done adding, click Done.
