Is this your situation?

The short answer

Before you start

• Confirm you have Admin access The Admin role has full access to all features in the Business Center.Verify: Check your role under Users in Business Center.
• Decide on Basic or Advanced role Business Center roles are split into Basic and Advanced permissions.Verify: Check whether the member needs finance access.
• Know the assets to grant An admin selects accounts and assets and sets the access level.Verify: List the accounts and assets the member needs.
• Check member capacity A Business Center can have up to 4,000 members.Verify: Check the current member count under Users.

How TikTok handles this

• Adding members lets an admin grant permissions to manage assets, accounts, and finance features.
• The Basic roles in a Business Center are Admin and Standard.
• Standard members work only on the accounts and assets they're given.
• An admin can bulk-assign permissions for multiple account and asset types at the same time.

Common mistakes

• Granting Standard when Admin is needed Standard members work only on the accounts and assets they're given.Why it happens: The role was chosen without checking what tasks the member needs.
• Forgetting Spark Ads display settings Members assigned Only show as ads cannot toggle that setting off when creating Spark Ads.Why it happens: The permission was set without reviewing its effect on ad creation.
• Missing finance role for finance tasks Advanced roles like Finance Analyst and Finance Manager are added on top of Admin access.Why it happens: A finance task is assigned without adding the Advanced role first.Already happened: If a member cannot see finance data, review roles before granting more access.
• Admin removed without a backup Admins can edit and manage all members and assets in a Business Center.Why it happens: A single admin leaves without another admin in place.
