What Facebook Access Should I Give a Freelancer?
Do not make a freelancer an admin. Here is the least-privilege access that lets them do the work — posting, ads, or reporting — without any control over your Page.
Freelancers are temporary by nature, so they are exactly the people who should never get Full control. The trick is to grant only the Task access the specific job needs. A freelancer who posts needs Content; one who runs ads needs Ads plus an ad-account role; one who reports needs Insights. Nothing more.
Match the access to the job
If the freelancer is creating and scheduling posts, give them Content task access. If they are managing the inbox and comments, give them Messages and Community. If they are running ads, give them Ads task access on the Page and the appropriate role on the ad account — these are separate grants, so do not assume one covers the other. If they are only pulling numbers, Insights alone is enough.
In every case, add them under their own Facebook profile, write down when the engagement ends, and revoke their access on that date. Because freelance work is short by design, the revoke step is where most of the risk lives — so treat the end date as a real deadline.

Access issues are easier to prevent when roles, owners, and responsibilities are recorded clearly
Most access problems trace back to the same gap — no clear record of who has access, what role they hold, and what should happen when that changes. Delvia helps you keep that record so problems are visible before they become incidents.
