- Getting admin permissions for the Facebook Business Manager
Facebook operates on a 2-layer permission system to make sure each person in the account has the access they need. Before you can create a campaign you need to make sure you have two separate permissions on the Facebook side. You need to be the admin of both:
- The Facebook Page where you want to run the campaign (with 'full control' access)
- The Facebook Business Manager associated with that page
Not sure if you already have the necessary permissions?
Getting admin permissions for the Facebook Page
Make sure you have "full control" access for the Facebook Page that the campaign connects to. You won't be able to connect to Facebook Ads with Wix with only "partial control" of a page. Ask a current page admin to follow the below instructions to add you.
What is the difference between full control and partial control of a FB Page?
Instructions to add someone as a Page admin with full control:
- Log in to your Facebook account and switch to the relevant Page.
- Click your Page's profile picture at the top right.
- Click Settings & privacy, then click Settings.
- Under Audience and visibility, click Page setup.

The person will receive an email to accept your invitation to access your Page.
