Asset Groups And Users

Manage your business' asset groups and learn how to connect your business users to asset groups. Business asset groups help large advertisers or agencies efficiently manage users and assets in their business. You should organize assets and users in a way that maps to real-world operations. For example, a business can structure its assets and users according to brand, region, client, or an organizing principle of their choice.

Business asset groups can contain ad accounts, Pages, Facebook pixels, offline event sets, apps, catalogs, custom conversions and Instagram accounts. The assets can be owned by a business or shared to provide access to an agency.
