Does Ads task access give full ad account control?
No — Ads task access lets someone run ads from your Page, but ad-account roles and billing live separately. Here is why the two don't overlap.
This catches almost everyone. Giving someone the Ads task on your Page lets them boost posts and run ads from that Page — but it does not make them a manager of your ad account. The ad account is a separate asset with its own roles and its own billing. Ads task access on the Page and control of the ad account are two different doors, and one does not open the other.

Two separate things
The Ads task is a Page-level permission. It lets someone create and run ads that promote the Page and its content. Useful for a community manager who occasionally boosts a post.
The ad account is a portfolio-level asset, with its own roles — Admin, Advertiser, Analyst — and its own payment methods. Full ad management, campaign structure across accounts, billing, and audience assets all live here, not on the Page. To give a media buyer real control, you assign them an ad-account role, separately from any Page task.
So when a freelancer says "I have ads access but can't do X", it is usually because they have the Page Ads task but no ad-account role — or vice versa. Grant both, deliberately, when someone needs to manage ads properly.

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.
