How to give an agency access through partner permissions
Add an agency as a partner using their Business Portfolio ID, then share your Instagram and assign tasks. It's cleaner than adding each person by hand.
Partner access connects two Business Portfolios: yours (which owns the Instagram account) and the agency's (whose people will do the work). You add them once by their portfolio ID, assign tasks on the Instagram asset, and the agency manages its own team internally. When the contract ends, you remove the partner and all of their access goes with it.
Before you start
The agency's Business Portfolio ID
A long numeric ID from their Meta Business settings.
Your Instagram account in your own portfolio
Verify: Meta Business settings → Accounts → Instagram accounts.
Grant partner access by ID
Open Partners
Meta Business settings → Partners, as a portfolio admin.
Where: Meta Business settings → Partners
Add by Business Portfolio ID
Choose "give a partner access to your assets" and paste the agency's portfolio ID.
Assign the Instagram asset and tasks
Select your Instagram account and enable only the tasks the agency needs.
Avoid these
Mistyping the Portfolio ID
A wrong ID either fails or shares with the wrong business. Copy-paste it directly from the agency.
Granting full control by default
Give the agency exactly the tasks the job needs — escalate later if required.

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.
