Partners represent external agencies with whom you maintain an ongoing collaboration, allowing them to handle the setup, management, and maintenance of your campaigns, ad groups, and ads. To include a partner, it’s essential for them to possess a Pinterest business account.

To grant partners access and oversee their involvement, you can add them to your Business Manager. This enables you to authorize access to ad accounts, allocate ad account permissions, modify permissions, and remove employees. Adding a partner necessitates having their business ID, conveniently located beneath their business name on their Business Manager page. Depending on the permissions you extend to your partner, they can, in turn, manage varying levels of access for their own team members.

In the event that you are a partner seeking access to an account, you have the option to initiate the process by requesting to be added as a partner, followed by a request for access to ad accounts.

This option is ideal for brands seeking to collaborate with external agencies.

4. In the left-hand navigation panel, choose “Partners.”
5. Click on “Add partner.”

7. Select “Invite a partner to access your assets.”
8. To grant permissions to the individuals you’ve added, click “Assign ad accounts.” Alternatively, you can choose “Maybe later” if you prefer to do this at a later time.

As an alternative method, you can also include partners by navigating to “Ad accounts” in the left-side menu, selecting an ad account, clicking the “Partners” tab, and then choosing “Assign partners.”

This is a recommended process for agencies and external partners seeking access to their partner’s ad accounts.
