Microsoft Advertising account linking — your agency account is linked to the client's via Microsoft's access process. You'll find it under Account settings → Users / Manager accounts. The client keeps ownership of Microsoft Advertising accounts; the agency is granted only what you assign.
Grant the least access the work needs. Here's what each level on Microsoft Ads can do:
| Access level / role | What it can do |
|---|---|
| Super Admin | Full control including users and billing. |
| Standard | Manage campaigns; limited account settings. Usual agency level. |
| Viewer | View-only access. |
| Manager account link | Link the agency's manager account to yours (agency model). |
A few minutes to send the request; the agency accepts. Email invitations can take longer if they sit unread.
Microsoft links accounts or invites users through its own access process — no password shared. You keep ownership and can unlink or remove anytime.
Every step above is why agencies move to a single link. HandItSafe requests exactly the Microsoft Ads access you need — the client approves it through Microsoft Ads'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.
