What causes this error?

The action you’re attempting requires Business Manager Admin-level access, but your user role is set to Employee, Analyst, or Advertiser. Only Admins can perform certain sensitive operations like managing payment methods, adding users, or changing account settings.

How to fix it

  1. Request Admin access: Ask an existing Business Manager Admin to upgrade your role in Business Settings > People.
  2. Use the right account: If you have Admin access to a different Business Manager, make sure you’re logged into the correct one.
  3. Delegate the task: If Admin access can’t be granted, have an Admin perform the specific operation on your behalf.
