How to Add an Agency to Your TikTok Business Center

Bring an agency in as a Partner so they can work on your assets without taking your login — and you can revoke it in one move. Here is how.

The safe way to let an agency run your TikTok is to add their Business Center as a Partner of yours, then share specific assets with them. Their team works through their own Business Center; you keep ownership of your accounts and ad accounts, and you can end the partnership without changing a single password. The opposite — letting the agency’s Business Center own your assets — is the setup that goes wrong later.

If your situation is actually …

Before you start

  • You have your own Business Center that owns your assets

    Partner sharing works from your Business Center outward. If the agency owns your assets, fix that first.

  • The agency’s Business Center ID

    You connect to their Business Center as a partner, so you need their ID, which they can provide.

  • You are an Admin

    Only an Admin can add partners and share assets.

Add an agency as a partner

  1. Open the Partners area

    In your Business Center, go to the Partners section.

    Where: business-center.tiktok.com → Partners

  2. Add the agency by their Business Center ID

    Add a partner using the agency’s Business Center ID, which sends them a request to confirm.

    Where: business-center.tiktok.com → Partners → add partner

  3. Share only the assets they need

    Choose which TikTok accounts and ad accounts to share with the partner, and at what access level — not your whole Business Center.

    Confirm: The shared assets appear under the partner with their access level.

  4. Confirm the partnership

    The agency accepts the partner request and confirms they can see the shared assets from their side.

Common mistakes

  • Letting the agency own your assets

    If their Business Center holds your ad account or Shop, they control it and you depend on them to get it back.

    Why it happens: It is faster to let the agency set things up under their own roof.

  • Sharing more than the engagement needs

    Sharing every asset with the partner widens the risk if their side is compromised.

    Why it happens: Sharing everything is quicker than per-asset sharing.

Frequently asked questions

No. Partner sharing grants access to the assets you choose. Ownership stays with your Business Center.
