# Connect a Pinterest Business Center app integration
Cerby leverages agent-based integration to connect your Pinterest Business Manager to your Cerby workspace. With this connection, you can import your user data, such as assets, roles and permissions, and members, to centrally and securely manage access from Cerby.
For the connection to happen, you must add to Cerby a user account with the **Manager** role on your Pinterest Business Manager and connect it to an [app integration](https://help.cerby.com/setup-and-admin/business-hubs/business-hub-catalog). Cerby will use this account as a service account for automation to access your Pinterest Business Manager, import the user data, and perform access management tasks.
{% hint style="info" %}
**NOTE:** Cerby recommends creating a dedicated Pinterest Business user account (not assigned to a specific user) to manage the business center from Cerby. Preferably, set it up with a Cerby-managed email address and phone number.
{% endhint %}
After importing your users and assets, you gain visibility on who accesses your business center, including partners, and their role level. Users with a Cerby account are automatically matched to their corresponding identity in your corporate directory, which may be managed by an identity provider (IdP), such as Okta or Entra ID (formerly Azure AD).
Matched users are prompted in the Cerby dashboard to connect their Pinterest Business user accounts to Cerby. After connecting their account, by following the instructions in the article [Join Pinterest Business Manager and connect user account to Cerby](/setup-and-admin/business-hubs/connecting-your-paid-social-apps/pinterest-business-manager/join-pinterest-business-and-connect-user-account-to-cerby.md), you can manage and secure their access to your Pinterest Business Manager and its assets and update their role, all from one single interface.
External collaborators without a Cerby account are displayed as unmatched users. For these users, you can perform the following actions:
* Match and invite users to join the app through Cerby
* Invite users to your workspace as [guest users](https://help.cerby.com/getting-started/concepts/user-management/guest-users) or [local partners](https://help.cerby.com/getting-started/concepts/user-management/partners#h-7e4add33a2), with secure credentials provided and managed by Cerby
* Remove unmatched users
* Exempt unmatched users to keep their user account active in Pinterest Business; however, you cannot manage them through Cerby
With [native partners](https://help.cerby.com/getting-started/concepts/user-management/partners#h-e7fa9c355c), you can also gain visibility on the users who access your assets to run ad campaigns on your partner's side.
