Parent and child account hierarchies
Business Manager gives businesses the option to create parent and child account hierarchies to help manage complex organisational structures. You can edit partner and employee access and user permissions for all of your child businesses from your dashboard. Once you’ve created a parent account, you can then add additional child businesses.
Create a parent account:
Log in to your Pinterest business account.Click on
in the top left-hand corner of your screen.Under Business, select Business Manager.Click the Edit details button on the right-hand side. Click the Create business hierarchy button, which will allow you to create a new parent account. Select a name for your new hierarchy. The account you are using will be added to your new hierarchy as a child account.
Organisation managers in Business Manager
You are required to add at least one organisation manager to your account, who will act as an administrator across all child accounts.
Organisation managers are users who are granted access to view the hierarchy and all child accounts. They will be able to make changes, manage assets and view reporting across all child accounts within a hierarchy.
In a parent/child account hierarchy, each parent account needs to have at least one organisation manager. Users cannot take any actions or have visibility to the other child accounts, unless they are granted permissions to those accounts or have been added as organisation managers.
Assign an organisation manager:
Log in to your Pinterest business account.Click on
in the top left-hand corner of your screen.Under Business, select Business Manager.Click Managers in the left-hand sidebar.Click Invite managers from the middle column.Enter the username of the employees to whom you’d like to grant manager access.Click Invite.Invitations will be sent to these employees and they can accept or decline the new role.
Child accounts
Businesses should only add child accounts that they own. If your client owns their own account and assets, their account should remain independent of your parent/child account structure.
Child accounts retain all of their existing ad accounts, partners and employees. Adding businesses as child accounts won’t change their permissions or allow them to view details for the other child businesses unless they have already been granted access.
