Share your Apple Business Connect access with a Third-Party Partner
You may want to delegate management of your brands, brand features, and locations to a Third-Party Partner in Apple Business Connect. This allows you to focus on your company and lets the Third-Party Partner manage your content.
If you do choose to allow a Third-Party Partner to manage your content, that content is subject to the same policies as if you had created it.
The Third-Party Partner must have an Apple Business Connect account and be verified by Apple. To get a Third-Party Partner started, send them this link: Create a Third-Party Partner account.
There are two ways to share your content with a Third-Party Partner:
