Get Full Control of a Facebook Business Portfolio
Someone else owns the portfolio holding your assets? How to request full control from Meta, the business documents required, and why results are not guaranteed.
When a Business Portfolio you do not control owns your Pages, ad accounts, and datasets, the route is Meta's "submit a request to get full control of a Business Portfolio." It is a documents-and-identity process, and one thing is fixed no matter what happens: ad accounts can never have their ownership transferred. You may win control of the portfolio and still need to rebuild ad accounts.

- The portfolio is restricted, not just owned by someone else → Page trapped in a restricted portfolio →
Requesting full control of the portfolio
