When you integrate your Facebook account with Ad Manager, we ask for some necessary permissions to access your Business page.

When you first set up your Facebook Ads account with Ad Manager, you are asked to grant LeadConnector permissions to access and manage the Facebook Business account where you'll run campaigns.

To give permissions from Ad Manager :

Go to Marketing > Ad Manager
Click the option to Connect Now or select the pages.
Note - If you have already connected the account in Subaccount Settings > Integration, it will show all the pages where you are the admin to.
Click Connect to Facebook by adding the username and password and granting the relevant permissions. Make sure all the toggles are enabled and checkboxes selected.
Once the permissions are granted to LeadConnector app, the next step is to identify the pages you would like to connect if you have multiple business pages.

Troubleshoot if the page is not found while connecting in Ad Manager

When setting up a campaign, Ad Manager needs permissions for the Facebook Business page where you want to run the ads. If the page doesn't appear while connecting the page in Ad Manager, it means some permissions are missing or you are missing permission of admin.
Below is the permission checklist that needs to be referred by clicking on "Permission Checklist" on the screen be and all the mentioned permissions needs to be provided to LeadConnector to use Ad Manager without any hiccup.

The granular permissions which are necessary for Ad Manager are as follows:
