Request Access To Assets If there are business assets that other people own, you are going to need to request access to that particular asset. This is something you can do via Facebook Business Manager. This is particularly useful if you manage assets for clients, which they have ownership of. The current admin or owner is going to need to approve access to the assets before they will be added to your Facebook Business Manager.

Manage Your Assets Effectively Once you have got access to all of the assets you require access to, you need to make sure that you manage them effectively.
