[intro]Before you begin this Guide, you need to have opened a Facebook Business account and linked it to your Facebook Page. You will need to add the member of staff to your Facebook Business account first before you can assign them to your Catalogue and other aspects of the Facebook Business Manager platforms.

In this Guide, you’ll learn how to add one of your members of staff to your Facebook Business account to help you manage your Facebook presence.
