How to Approve Facebook Admin Access Requests in Meta Business Suite

Are you stuck trying to approve someone's access request to your Meta Business Suite? If you've sent an invitation that shows "invitation request sent for approval" but can't figure out where to complete the Facebook admin approval process, you're not alone. This quick guide will show you exactly where to find and approve these pending Facebook person approval requests in Business Manager.

The Common Challenge with Facebook Person Approval

When you try to add someone to your Meta Business Suite (formerly Facebook Business Manager) with full control permissions, you might see a status that says "invitation request sent for approval" with a note that "someone else has to approve it."

Many Facebook page administrators struggle with this exact issue - you might notice an "additional approval needed" message and instinctively click the "See Details" button—only to be redirected to the same page, leaving you still searching for where to actually approve the Facebook admin request.

The Solution: Finding the Hidden Facebook Approval Page

Here's how to find and approve those pending Meta Business Suite access requests:

1. Navigate to your Meta Business Suite settings (located in the bottom left corner)
2. Select the "People" page from the main menu (this is where Facebook Business Manager stores all user permissions)
3. In the left column, scroll down and click on "Requests"
4. Select "Other Requests" from the submenu
5. Look for the "Access Review" section
6. Here you'll see all pending Facebook admin approval requests with details about what access they're requesting

Completing the Facebook Business Manager Approval Process

Once you've found the pending request:

1. Click the "Review" button next to the request
2. Review all the access permissions this person would receive (Facebook page access, ad account permissions, etc.)
3. Check who sent the request and when it was sent
4. Click "Approve" if legitimate (or "Deny" if not)
5. The request will disappear from this page once approved

Confirming the Facebook Person Approval Worked

To verify that the user has been successfully added to your Facebook Business Manager:

1. Return to the "People" tab in Meta Business Suite
2. Refresh the page
3. You should now see the person listed as "Invited"

The user will receive an email invitation to join your Meta Business Suite with the permissions you've granted. They'll need to accept this invitation to gain access to your Facebook business assets.

Remember: Requests → Other Requests → Access Review is the path to managing Facebook admin approvals quickly and easily in Meta Business Suite.
