Why adding fails
- The portfolio itself is restricted, so new assets are blocked.
- You lack the permission to add accounts.
- The portfolio has reached a limit on accounts.
Check
- Open Business Support Home and read the portfolio notice.
- Under People, confirm your role.
- Look at the count of ad accounts already inside.
- Check whether verification is pending.
What not to try
Do not create a second portfolio to get around the block. That is the pattern Meta treats as circumventing its systems.
