Verified July 2026 · takes about 2 minutes

Invite this email

Access level: Super Admin — it's the only role that can manage conversion goals, linked accounts, and users — Standard User hits walls during setup.

05

Set the role to Super Admin

With account scope set to all accounts. Note: only an existing Super Admin can grant the Super Admin role.

Click Send

The invitation email is valid for 30 days — if it lapses, just resend.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

Once activated, we typically import and adapt your proven Google Ads structure — Microsoft traffic is smaller but often converts cheaper, and the setup cost is low when Google is already dialed in.

You stay in control. Settings → User management → find our user tile → delete. If we're listed as the Primary Contact, designate a new one first.

COMMON SNAGS

The activation link won't work

Microsoft's activation links are notoriously finicky. Opening the link in an InPrivate/incognito window fixes it in most cases; also check the junk folder for the “Invitation to Microsoft Advertising” email.

I can't assign Super Admin

Only Super Admins can invite or edit other Super Admins — Standard Users can only invite Standard, Campaign Manager, or Viewer roles. Most accounts also cap at 15 users total.

Steps verified against Microsoft's official help article. Platform interfaces change — if a label looks different, the official doc is the tiebreaker.
