How to edit or remove a team member's access

Last updated June 10, 2026

Permissions aren't set in stone. As people change roles, gain new ad accounts to work on, or leave the company, you can update what each member can access — or remove them entirely — from the Team page. This article covers how to do both.

If you're still setting up your team, start with How to invite team members to your workspace and Understanding user roles and permissions.

Open the edit-permissions dialog

Go to Team in the left navigation.
Find the person you want to update in the Members table. Each row shows their email, a short summary of their current permissions, and the date they joined.
Click the pencil (Edit) icon at the end of their row.

This opens the Edit permissions dialog, pre-filled with the member's current settings and their email shown at the top so you know exactly whose access you're changing.

Update ad-account and Page restrictions

The top of the dialog controls which Meta assets the member can use. Both sections work the same way.

Ad Accounts — choose All accounts to give access to every ad account in the workspace, or Specific accounts to tick only the ones they should see and use.
FB / IG Pages — choose All pages for unrestricted Page access, or Restrict pages to load your connected Pages and check just the ones this member may launch from.

When you switch a section to the "specific" or "restrict" mode, uplads pre-selects everything by default so you can uncheck what you want to remove rather than rebuild the list from scratch. Restricting these doesn't just hide assets — it controls what the member can actually launch ads against.

Toggle configuration, ad-spend and team-management access

Below the asset restrictions are four on/off switches:

Ad Spend — can open the Ad Spend reporting page.
View Configuration — can view naming conventions and creative enhancements (read-only).
Edit Configuration — can save changes to configuration settings. Pair this with View Configuration for full edit access.
Team Management — can invite and remove team members. Grant this carefully — it effectively lets the member manage everyone else's access.

When you're done, click Save. The members table updates immediately with the new permission summary. To back out without changing anything, click Cancel.

If a member tells you configuration is greyed out, they likely have View but not Edit configuration — see Why is configuration greyed out or read-only for me?.

Remove a member from the workspace

To revoke a member's access entirely:

On the Team page, find their row in the Members table.
Click the trash (Remove) icon at the end of the row.

The member is removed right away and loses access to the shared workspace. If you only need to pause or narrow what someone can do, edit their permissions instead of removing them — removing is meant for people who are leaving.

To cancel an invite that hasn't been accepted yet, use Revoke in the Pending Invites section instead.

Who can manage the team

The Team page is restricted. Only two kinds of accounts can open it and change access:

The workspace owner, who always has full control.
Any member granted the Team Management permission (the switch described above).

Everyone else is redirected away from the page. So if you want a colleague to help manage members, enable Team Management for them — but remember that doing so lets them edit and remove other members too.
