Facebook today announced that it is giving wider access to its “Business Manager” dashboard, a tool that enables large advertisers and agencies to manage Facebook Page, advertising and application accounts from a single interface.
As we wrote last month, Business Manager gives account administrators centralized control over advertising campaigns and page permissions for their team and partners.
It’s still not clear how big an advertiser you need to be to be granted access by Facebook. The company’s release today stated that the tool is available to a limited amount of U.S. advertisers and that it would be made available internationally within a few weeks.
We’ve asked Facebook for more information about how to get the tool and will update if we get a response.
Postscript [April 28, 2:58 p.m.]: Facebook responded but didn’t add much to what we know. A spokesperson said those interested in getting the tool should contact their Facebook sales representative. If you don’t have a sales rep, submit your email at the bottom this page — https://business.facebook.com/ — to be notified when it’s available to you.
Meanwhile, here’s a detailed breakdown of Business Manager permission features from Facebook’s FAQ:
