Meta Business Manager catalog sharing — the catalog is shared as an asset with a role. You'll find it under Business Settings → Data sources → Catalogs → Assign partner. The client keeps ownership of Meta commerce catalogs; the agency is granted only what you assign.
Grant the least access the work needs. Here's what each level on Meta Catalog can do:
| Access level / role | What it can do |
|---|---|
| Standard | Manage products and use the catalog in ads. |
| Admin | Full control of the catalog. |
A couple of minutes to assign the catalog; the agency accepts.
The catalog is shared as an asset via partner access — no password shared, removable anytime.
Every step above is why agencies move to a single link. HandItSafe requests exactly the Meta Catalog access you need — the client approves it through Meta Catalog's own process in about three minutes, no password shared, and keeps a panel to see and remove access anytime. That visibility is why clients approve faster, and it makes offboarding a one-tap job later.
