With the release of managed Meta Accounts, you can now enable users to access your Meta Business tools without the need for a personal Facebook profile. Managed Meta Accounts are designed for business use, offering features like single sign-on (SSO) and automatic account provisioning. These accounts enable users to access Meta business tools, such as Business Manager and Meta for Work, using their work credentials instead of their personal Facebook accounts. As an administrator of Business Manager or Meta for Work, you must follow the official steps provided by Meta to transition users to managed Meta Accounts. For end users, after the transition, they must simply log in using their existing identity provider (IdP), such as Okta or Entra ID (formerly Azure AD). One key benefit of this transition is that users can access everything through a single interface using Cerby. This approach simplifies the transition and ensures a streamlined experience for managing Meta Accounts alongside other tools. {% hint style="danger" %} **IMPORTANT:** Meta for Work was released in July 2023 for beta testing, and some organizations have been transitioning to replace personal Facebook profiles as the default login for Meta Business Manager. Note that this feature is currently available to selected customers only. For more information or to ask about eligibility, please contact your Meta support representative. {% endhint %} *** ## Transition from personal to managed Meta Accounts The following are the main steps you must follow to migrate from your personal account to managed Meta Accounts: 1.

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://help.cerby.com/setup-and-admin/business-hubs/connecting-your-paid-social-apps/meta-business-manager/transition-from-personal-to-managed-meta-accounts.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
