How to add a partner to manage your Instagram
Add another business as a partner to manage your Instagram through Meta. Share your account by their Business Portfolio ID and assign exactly what they can do.
Partner access lets another business — an agency, a consultancy, a sister company — manage your Instagram through their own Meta Business Portfolio. You keep ownership of the account and the portfolio it sits in; they get access by their Portfolio ID, with only the tasks you assign. It is the cleanest way to bring in an outside team, because removal is a single step.
If your situation is actually …
- You need to remove a partner later → Remove a partner's access →
- You want the shared Meta partner mechanic in full → Add an agency partner on Facebook →
Before you start
Your Instagram in your own Business Portfolio
You own the container; the partner only gets access.
The partner's Business Portfolio ID
A long numeric ID from their Meta Business settings.
Admin access to your portfolio
Required to add partners and assign assets.
Add a partner business
Open Partners
Meta Business settings → Partners, as a portfolio admin.
Where: Meta Business settings → Partners
Add the partner by Portfolio ID
Choose to give a partner access and enter their ID exactly.
Assign the Instagram account and tasks
Share your Instagram and enable only the tasks the partner needs.
Confirm and document
Verify the partner sees the account, and note the engagement and a review date.
If this fails: Instagram in another portfolio
Partner mistakes
Letting the partner own your portfolio
A partner should access your container, not own it. If they own it, they control your account.

Over-granting tasks
Give the partner exactly what the work needs; widen later if necessary.
Frequently asked questions

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.
