Set Up Business Manager and Pages Permissions

To assign roles and build your Instant Articles team, you can set up Business Manager—a Meta tool for managing your Pages. This tool governs who has access to your Page(s) and which administrative and publishing permissions each person has. Learn more about Business Manager, adding and sharing assets and managing roles and permissons with Blueprint.

If you would prefer not to use Business Manager, you can still publish Instant Articles.

Identify Your Organization’s Business Manager Account

To begin, find out if your organization has a Business Manager account. If you’re not sure whether or not your organization has a Business Manager account: ask your social media team or your advertising team (if your organization runs ads on Facebook). These are the people who are most likely to have access to your organization’s Business Manager account. For privacy reasons, we can’t give you access to your organization’s Business Manager account or tell you the names of the existing admins.

Set Up Business Manager

The steps below provide an overview of the entire Business Manager setup process. If your organization already has an account, skip the first step.

Step 1: Create a Business Manager Account

Locate your organization’s Business Manager account, and only if your organization doesn’t have one, create a new account.

Step 2: Add a Page to an Existing Business Manager Account

Add the Page(s) associated with your Instant Articles feed to your Business Manager account. In most cases, this will be your organization’s main Facebook page.

Step 3: Add your Team to your Organization’s Business Manager and to your Page(s)

1. Add your team as Employees.
2. Add your team as Page admins: Suggested role – Analyst

Step 4 Access Instant Articles Tools
