Fix something that broke
An invite never arrived, a change did not stick, or the permissions screen looks wrong — diagnose it here.
Most Facebook access bugs are really a layer mismatch
When something "does not work" on Facebook, it is usually not a bug — it is access sitting in a different layer than you expect. Page access granted at Page → Settings → Page access and access granted through Business settings track separately, so a person can look present in one place and missing in the other. And Ads task access on a Page is not the same as a role on the ad account: someone can be allowed to run ads yet unable to touch billing or the ad account itself.
So before assuming a change failed, check where you granted it. Full control is the only level that can add or remove people or change the Page, so if an action is greyed out, the account is probably on Task access, not Full control. Name the layer, confirm the role, and most "it is broken" reports resolve themselves.
- Facebook Page Invite Not Received
You added someone to your Facebook Page or Business Portfolio, but the invite never showed up for them. Work through the three causes that explain almost every missing invite, starting with the most likely.
- Accepted the Invite but Still Can't See the Page
You accepted the invite, but the Page still doesn't appear where you expected. Here is how to work out which of the few real causes you're dealing with — usually an unassigned asset or a portfolio mismatch, not a broken invite.
- Can't Access Meta Business Suite
Meta Business Suite won't let you in — it loads to the wrong account, shows none of your Pages, or throws a permission error. Here is how to find which of the usual causes you're hitting before assuming anything is broken.
- Page Not Showing in Your Business Portfolio
The Page you expect is missing from your Business Portfolio. Usually it's owned by a different portfolio, was never added, or was added but never assigned to you — here is how to tell which, and what each one needs.
- Instagram Won't Connect to Your Facebook Page
You are trying to link your Instagram account to your Facebook Page and it just will not connect. Most of the time it is one of a handful of fixable causes — here is how to find yours.
- Ad Account Not Showing in Business Manager
Your ad account has vanished from Business Manager and you cannot run or see your campaigns. Before assuming the worst, work through the few causes that explain almost every disappearance.
- Pixel Not Showing in Events Manager
Your pixel is missing from Events Manager and your tracking has gone dark. The cause is usually about which portfolio created it and which one you are looking in — here is how to find it.
- You Don't Have Permission to Do This
Facebook keeps telling you that you do not have permission to do something — even though you thought you were an admin. Here is how to find the exact gap and close it.
- Can't Remove an Admin
You are trying to remove an admin and the option is greyed out, missing, or simply refuses. Here is why removal gets blocked and how to clear each cause.
- Page Locked in Another Business Portfolio
Your Facebook Page is held inside a Business Portfolio you don't control, and you can't move or claim it. Here's how to tell whether it's a fixable claim issue or a genuine lock — and what to do about each.
- A Profile Restriction Is Blocking Business Access
Your Pages and ads suddenly stopped working — and the real cause is a restriction on your personal Facebook profile, not the business assets themselves. Here's how to confirm that and clear it.
- Two-Factor Authentication Is Blocking Your Login
Two-factor authentication is meant to protect your account, but right now it's locking you out of it. Here's how to get back in using the recovery options Facebook provides — and when to treat it as a full lockout.
- Permissions Look Right but Actions Still Fail
On paper you have the right access — the role shows up, the assignment looks correct — but the action still won't go through. Here's how to find the gap between what permissions say and what actually happens.
- Your Ad Account Has Been Disabled
Your Facebook ad account has been disabled and your campaigns have stopped. Here's how to read the actual reason, request a review the right way, and avoid the moves that make it worse.
- What Meta Account Quality Is Telling You
Account Quality is the one place Meta gathers what is wrong with your account, Pages and ad accounts — restrictions, policy issues, and the option to request a review. Here is how to read it without panicking, and how to act on what it shows.
- Your Business Portfolio Has Been Restricted
Your own Business Portfolio has been restricted — and because every Page, ad account and asset sits inside it, the whole thing can grind to a halt at once. Here is why it happens, what it actually blocks, and the honest version of how you get it reviewed.
- You Don't Know Who Owns Your Page or Ad Account
You manage a Page or ad account but genuinely do not know who owns it — often a former agency or an employee who has left. Here is how to find the owning Business Portfolio, what to do when it is someone you can no longer reach, and when this becomes a formal ownership dispute.
