Control who can manage people’s managed Meta accounts and set changes to be made automatically

Copy link
This page is only applicable to admins of managed Meta accounts.
Managing people's Meta accounts includes editing information as well as deactivating and deleting profiles.
As a system admin or admin with relevant permissions, whether or not you have connected a third-party identity provider affects how you can manage people’s accounts.
  • If you haven’t connected an identity provider (IdP), then you will need to proactively manage accounts in Admin Center.
  • If you have connected an identity provider (IdP), then by default all changes will be made automatically in sync with the IdP integration unless you select otherwise.

Change who can manage people’s accounts

All system admins and admins with relevant permissions can manage and edit accounts.
You can also allow people to edit some of their own information themselves. If an account is not associated with a verified domain in Admin Center, then only the account user can edit their name or work phone number. If the account is verified, then admins can edit name, work phone number and email address.
If you have connected your organization’s managed Meta accounts with an identity provider (IdP), then you can also set user information in Admin Center to be updated in sync with information in your IdP system.
To change who can edit people’s profile information:
  1. Log into Admin Center.
  2. Click People in the left menu.
  3. Click Profile fields Profile fields in the left menu.
  4. Review the Editable by column for each profile field row.
  5. Click the dropdown boxes to the right of the profile fields and select from the following three options:
    • Admin only: restricts updates to admins.
    • Identity provider: information is updated in sync with information in your IdP system.
    • Account owner: the individual can edit this information themselves even if they are not an admin. Admins can also edit this information on their behalf. This option is not available for employee ID or email address.
You will need to do this for each profile field you want to change. All changes will be automatically applied.
Note: You cannot make changes to profile details of people that have access to your Admin Center from an external organization.
