How to Remove a Partner From Your Facebook Business Portfolio

Cut off a partner business’s access in one place. Here’s how to remove a Partner from your Business Portfolio and what happens to the assets they shared.

Removing a partner severs the link between their Business Portfolio and yours. Any assets you shared with them — Pages, ad accounts — stop being accessible from their side immediately. Because you only ever shared access, never ownership, you keep everything. The one caveat: individuals or system users that were set up alongside the partnership may need a separate sweep.

If your situation is actually …

Before you start

  • You have Admin access to the Business Portfolio

    Only a portfolio Admin can add or remove partners.

  • You know which assets the partner could access

    Note the shared Pages and ad accounts before you remove the partner, so you can confirm afterwards that access really ended.

Remove a partner

  1. Open Partners in Business settings

    In Meta Business Suite, go to Settings and open Partners.

    Where: Meta Business Suite → Settings → Partners

  2. Select the partner

    Choose the partner business you want to remove. You’ll see the assets currently shared with them.

    Confirm: The partner’s shared assets are listed.

  3. Remove the partner

    Choose Remove and confirm. Their portfolio loses access to every asset you shared.

    Confirm: The partner no longer appears in your Partners list.

  4. Sweep for leftover access

    Check Settings → People and Settings → System users for any individuals or automated users tied to that partner, and remove them too.

    Where: Meta Business Suite → Settings → People / System users

    Confirm: No partner-linked users remain.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming removal cascades to everything

    Removing the partner doesn’t always remove people or system users that were created during the partnership.

    Why it happens: Partner removal and individual access are tracked separately.

    Already happened: Find old partners and system users

  • Removing the partner before checking ad-account ownership

    If a shared ad account actually lives in the partner’s portfolio, removing the partner removes your access to it — it was never yours to keep.

Frequently asked questions

Yes — anything your portfolio owns stays with you. Partner access only ever shared it; it never transferred ownership.

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.
