Troubleshoot ad account access in Campaign Manager

Last updated: 6 days ago

If you’re having trouble accessing or taking certain actions in your ad account in Campaign Manager, you might need to ensure you have the correct permission on the account. Review the following table for common issues and how to resolve them.

Issue Resolution
My colleagues shared a link to an ad account, but I’m not able to access it.

It’s possible that you haven’t been added as a user on the ad account. One of your colleagues with account manager access needs to add you to the account.

Note: If your company has a Business Manager account, make sure you’re logged into the correct profile. An ad account won’t appear if you’re viewing your personal profile or a different Business Manager. Click the profile image or Business Manager logo in the upper-right corner, then choose the Business Manager (or your profile) you want to view.

I was provided with a link to an old ad account that our company was using, but no one currently at the company has access to this account. Only an existing account manager can provide you with access to an ad account. If no one at your company currently has access, you’ll likely need to create a new ad account.
I can access my ad account, but I’m unable to take actions like creating campaigns or ads.

Ensure you have:

  • The correct user role on the ad account. Depending on the action you’re trying to take, you might need a higher level of permission.  

  • The correct level of access on your organization's LinkedIn Page. Many actions, such as creating campaigns or ads and downloading leads, require that you have admin access on your LinkedIn Page as well.

  • Two-step verification enabled on your LinkedIn profile. Each Campaign Manager user is required to enable two-step verification on their individual LinkedIn account to help secure their ad accounts.

If you’re having trouble accessing an ad account that you’ve confirmed you should have access to, please contact our support team.
