How to Find Your Microsoft Advertising Account Numbers (Manager & Account number)

If you’re linking accounts in Microsoft Advertising, you’ll need either a manager account number or an account number, depending on the level of access required.

• Manager account number: Used to link to a manager account (multiple ad accounts)
• Ad account number: Used to link to individual ad accounts

Find your Microsoft Ads manager account number

The manager account number is a 10-character ID made up of a mix of numbers (0–9) and letters (a–z, A–Z).

This number represents a manager account, which acts as a central account for managing multiple Microsoft Advertising accounts.

What you need to know:

• Manager accounts don’t run ads themselves, but are rather used to manage other accounts
• Linking using a manager account number gives access to all accounts under that manager
• Commonly used by agencies managing multiple clients

You have two options to find it:

Option 1: From the manager account settings

Step 1. Go to your Microsoft Advertising dashboard here https://ads.microsoft.com 

Step 2. In the left-hand menu, select  Settings > Manager account settings.

Step 3. Your 10-character manager account number is displayed under Manager account number.

⚠️ Important note

Your manager account number is different from your Manager account ID.

• The Manager account number is used for linking accounts and granting access
• The Manager account ID is used by Microsoft Advertising Support to identify your account

Make sure you’re sharing the manager account number when linking accounts.

Option 2: From the account dropdown

Step 1. Go to your Microsoft Advertising dashboard here https://ads.microsoft.com

Step 2. In the upper-left corner, select your manager account to open the dropdown menu.
