What to ask for
- Ask for
- Partner access with the Campaign permission on the ad account Partner access
- Client needs
- A Pinterest business account with Business Manager, as Account Owner or Manager, plus your Pinterest business ID.
Ask for Partner access with the Campaign permission on the ad account and nothing broader. The smallest role that does the job is easier for the client to approve, easier to audit later, and simpler to remove when the work ends. If the scope of work grows, ask again for the larger role rather than requesting it up front.
