using a fiver designer to setup and run facebook campaign, how to give access

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A user is hiring a Fiverr designer to set up and run Facebook ad campaigns and wants to know how to grant access safely without risking their Shopify store or account ownership.

Recommended Solution:

  • Facebook Business Manager: Add the designer as an “Employee” (not Admin) with “Manage Campaigns” permission for the ad account only. This allows them to create/edit ads without accessing payment details or ownership settings.
  • Facebook Page Access: If needed, grant “Editor” or “Advertiser” role—never Admin.
  • Shopify Access (if required for product feeds): Use limited staff permissions, granting access only to “Apps and Sales Channels” to enable Facebook catalog setup without store control.

Key Takeaway:
Full admin access poses risks (potential account removal), but following these permission levels keeps the business owner in control while allowing the designer to manage campaigns effectively.

The discussion appears resolved with clear, actionable steps provided.

I’m starting to use a fiver designer to setup and run a facebook ad campaign, is there a way to give them access without giving them access to the whole site and change the email and site? or do i need to be worried about this?

Hi @CaymanH20

Good question—when working with a Fiverr designer to set up and run Facebook ads, you don’t need to give them full access to your Shopify store. Instead, you can grant limited access to your Facebook Business Manager to keep control of your site and account.

How to Give Access Safely?#### 1. Add Them to Facebook Business Manager (Without Full Admin Rights)

Go to Facebook Business Manager
Navigate to Users > People
Click Add and enter their email
Select “Employee access” (not Admin)
Under Accounts > Ad Accounts, give them access to your ad account only
Choose Manage Campaigns (so they can create/edit ads but not change ownership)
Click Invite

:small_blue_diamond: Why? This lets them create and manage Facebook ads without touching business settings, payment details, or ownership.

2. Give Them Access to Facebook Page (If Needed)

If they need to manage ads linked to your Facebook Page:
In Business Settings > Pages, add them as Editor or Advertiser
DO NOT give them Admin access

3. Use Shopify’s Limited Staff Permissions (If Needed for Product Feeds)

If they need to connect your product catalog, give limited staff access in Shopify:

Go to Shopify Admin > Settings > Users and Permissions
Click Add Staff
Grant access only to Apps and Sales Channels (so they can set up Facebook feed without store control)

Do You Need to Worry?

YES, if you give full admin access—they could remove you from the account.
NO, if you follow the steps above—they’ll only manage ads without controlling your business.

Let me know if you need extra help! Thanks.
