Ad account permission updates

In early April, we launched Business Access, a new way to manage people and partners who work on your Pinterest ad accounts easily. From 14 July 2021, Business Access will be the only place to manage your ad account permissions.

About Business Access

With Business Access, you can:

Improve collaboration through quick ad account permission sharing

Increase efficiency by managing user permissions across multiple ad accounts

Gain access to security features that allow you to easily view and adjust who has access to your ad accounts

Transition timeline

If you currently use multi-user permissions to share access to your ad account and have not started using Business Access by 14 July, your permissions will be moved to Business Access for you.

From 14 July to 26 July: existing multi-user permissions will be migrated automatically to Business Access and the old ad account settings page will be removed from the navigation bar

On 11 August: multi-user permissions that have not been migrated to Business Access will be fully deprecated

How to prepare

To prepare for this change, you can either set up Business Access yourself or let us move your existing ad account permissions for you.

Option 1:

Control your Business Access setup completely by adding your employees and partners and assigning ad accounts. Add at least one employee or partner in Business Access before 14 July 2021.

Find out how to share and manage access to your ad accounts with Business Access.

Option 2:

We'll automatically migrate existing ad account permissions to Business Access for you between 14 July and 26 July if you have not added any employees or partners in Business Access by then. Existing users you’ve granted permissions to will be added as employees in Business Access with the same ad account permissions.

If you add any employees and partners in Business Access manually, we will not migrate any old permissions, so you will have full control of your setup. If you prefer to do this manually, remember to add users as employees and re-grant permissions through Business Access to avoid loss of existing permissions.

If you do not want us to migrate any of your existing ad account permissions and will not have set up Business Access by then, go to your ad account settings page, tick the box next to a user’s name and remove them from your settings.

Note: If you currently receive multi-user permissions, the owner of the ad account will either be responsible for adding you to their Business Access manually, or your permissions will be migrated automatically, as detailed above.
