We will walk you through how to assign a profile to an ad account, assign a pixel to your ad account, and connect the pixel to your profile.
🔑 Step 1: Go to Business Settings
Start by navigating to your Business Settings on Facebook.
Ensure your profile is already added to the Business Manager (BM).
📑 Step 2: Select Your Ad Account
Go to Ad Accounts within the Business Settings.
Select the ad account you want to use.
🧑💻 Step 3: Assign People to the Ad Account
Click on Assign People.
Add the profile you want to assign to this ad account.
⚠️Best Practices for Assigning Profiles
It’s recommended to assign only one profile at a time to avoid any restrictions on your profiles.
Adding multiple profiles at once may increase the risk of restriction.
💼 Step 4: Access Ad Account in Ads Manager
Once you’ve assigned the profile, you can use the ad account by heading to Ads Manager.
🔄 Step 5: Assign Pixel to the Ad Account
Now, go to Data Sources and select Data Sets.
Find the pixel you want to assign and select it.
Note: To manage the pixel under Data Sources, ensure you're using an Admin profile in the Business Manager. Only Admins have full permissions to assign or manage pixels.
🔧 Step 6: Assign Pixel to a Profile
Click on Assign People for the pixel.
Choose the profile you want to give access to and select the type of access (recommend full control).
📊 Step 7: Assign the Pixel to the Ad Account
Go to Assign Assets and choose the ad account to which you want to attach the pixel.
✅ Step 8: Save and Finalize the Setup
After adding the pixel to both the profile and ad account, go back to Ads Manager.
You will now see the ad account and pixel available for selection.
