🚨 Meta Is Rolling Out a Major Update on Nov 16. And Most Business Owners Have No Idea.
If you run ads or manage a Meta Business Manager, this update affects you directly.
Meta has announced that everyone inside your Business Manager will automatically receive full catalogue access.
Yes, everyone.
Former staff.
Old freelancers.
People who tested something once.
Anyone you’ve ever added.
And full access means they can:
• Edit or delete products
• Change pricing
• Publish catalogue ads
• Or unintentionally break something important
This is not an update to overlook, especially if you’ve never audited your Business Manager.
💡 Why This Matters
Most businesses don’t regularly check their backend.
Some don’t even realise ex-teams still have access.
This level of access can affect:
• Your product data
• Your ads
• Your conversion tracking
• Your brand credibility
A clean backend is brand protection.
✅ Before Nov 16, here’s what you should do:
1. Go to Meta Business Settings → People
2. Review every name carefully
3. Remove anyone no longer involved
4. Adjust permissions for those who don’t need full access
This simple check can save you from costly errors later.
Your ads, your catalogue, and your brand deserve a secure and controlled environment.
