2 ways to give access to your Instagram account

There are basically two ways to add someone to the Instagram account:

1. Share your Instagram account login details with the person
2. Add the user to your Facebook (Meta) Business Suite and add access to your Instagram account

The first option is the easiest one but we would strongly discourage you from sharing your login details with anyone.

It is not a safe solution and you can never know if you can trust this person and they will not share the login data with another malicious third party.

The second solution is a little bit trickier, as you also have to have a Meta Business Suite account but it is still the preferred option.

It is more secure, you can clearly control what kind of access the user has and you can also easily remove the person from your Instagram account if you no longer work with him.
