Where did Business Settings go in Business Suite?
Business Settings did not disappear: Meta Business Suite now holds the same controls under a new path called Settings.
Is this your situation?
You used to find Business Settings in Business Manager, and now you cannot locate that name anywhere. You want to know where the people, asset and permission controls moved to.
What it is
A business portfolio brings a business's Facebook Pages, Instagram accounts and other business assets together in one place. That portfolio is managed through business tools such as Meta Business Suite. Inside Meta Business Suite, Settings is where you go to add people to the portfolio. To add people to a business portfolio, you go to Settings in Meta Business Suite for the business portfolio. From there, clicking People in the left menu is part of adding people to the portfolio.
How Facebook handles this
