How to Add Additional Users to a Pinterest Business Account

Many entrepreneurs and marketers are wondering if it is possible to add additional users to their Pinterest business account. Specifically, can these users be added directly to their main business account, or do they need to be added to an ad account within the business account?

The good news is that you can add additional users directly to your main Pinterest business account, providing them with the tools to help manage it, including adding pins, following/unfollowing people, and much more. In this article, we will guide you through the process.

Step-by-Step Guide to Adding Additional Users

Step 1: Log in to Your Pinterest Business Account
Ensure you use the account credentials that have admin access to log in.

Step 2: Access the Settings
Click on your profile icon located in the top right corner, then click on the Settings gear icon.

Step 3: Go to Account Settings
Navigate to the Account Settings section in the settings menu.

Step 4: Add a New User
Look for the option to invite a new user. This feature may be under a section labeled Team or Collaborators. Enter the email address of the person you wish to invite.

Step 5: Set Permissions
Assign the appropriate level of access to the new user, allowing them to manage pins, boards, and follow/unfollow accounts.

Step 6: Send Invitation
After filling in the necessary details and setting permissions, send the invitation. The invited user will receive an email containing an acceptance link.

Step 7: Acceptance
The new user must accept the invitation through the email link to gain access to the business account.

For added security, make sure that the users you invite have a Pinterest account as they will need one to access the business account.

Managing Group Boards

Another way to achieve similar functionality is by creating group boards on your business account and inviting other Pinterest users to participate. These users, when they accept the invitation, can add pins to the board and also invite others to join. The primary business account retains followers, and everyone who joins the group board will automatically follow it.

Important Considerations

It's crucial to exercise caution when inviting other users to manage your Pinterest business account. Inviting spammy individuals, for example, could result in numerous fake accounts joining and causing significant problems.

If you are in a joint business setting, consider creating a separate account where both parties can manage the account together, while keeping personal information private.

To summarize, adding additional users to a Pinterest business account is not only possible but can also be incredibly beneficial for collaborative efforts and increased account management. By carefully selecting and inviting trusted individuals, you can effectively expand your Pinterest presence and reach.
