Continue reading and we’ll show you exactly how to give someone access to a Twitter account and any Twitter ads accounts.

Outsourcing your Twitter content and advertising

If you want someone else to manage your business's Twitter content and ads, you’ll need to give them access to your Twitter account.

Twitter has a multi-user login option which allows multiple people to access your account. It’s a secure way to manage your Twitter account as you choose the levels of permission you grant. Plus, you don't have to share and never have share your Twitter password.

Without further ado, let's show you how to add a user to a Twitter account.

How to request access to a Twitter account

Unfortunately, there is no way to request access to a Twitter account within the app itself.

If you need to gain access to a client’s Twitter account, you’ll need to ask them to give you access using the above steps. 

Do you need to request access to your clients other marketing accounts? Did you know Leadsie takes the hassle out of requesting access in the back end. Here's how it works: 

Why give access to a Twitter Ads account?

Simply put, granting access to a Twitter Ads account allows individuals or teams to manage advertising campaigns and analyze data more efficiently. It can facilitate collaboration, while streamlining the ad creation process.

76% of Twitter users claim they bought something because of a Tweet or conversation they saw on the platform. And sharing access to a Twitter ads account with talented individuals will undoubtedly increase the potential of your advertising campaigns.

Access levels for a Twitter Ads account

If an agency, freelancer or team member manages your Twitter ads, you’ll need to give them access to your Twitter ads account. 

The process is different to granting access to post content and managing your Twitter accounts. 

If you’re the account administrator, there are 5 levels of permission you can give to people who need access your Twitter ads:
