How do I auto-approve assets from my own Instagram account?
After connecting your Instagram account, turn on automatic rights approval for its content:
Go to Settings > UGC > Your Meta Accounts > Instagram.
Click the three dots on the account.
Select Enable auto-rights approve.
❗ Heads up
When this setting is enabled:
All new assets from your account are marked as rights-approved automatically.
The change is not retroactive. Existing assets stay as they are and must be approved manually if needed.
How do I auto-approve usage rights for followed accounts?
❗ Heads up: Available on the Engagement Pro and Enterprise plans.
If partners or creators have given you blanket permission to use their content, you can skip manual approval. An administrator can turn on automatic rights approval for any Instagram account you follow.
Go to Settings > Followed Accounts.
Click the three dots on the account.
Select Manage auto-rights approve.
Enter a permission note.
(Optional) Attach supporting documents, such as an email confirmation or partnership agreement.
❗ Heads up
When this setting is enabled:
Any new asset the account posts is marked as rights-approved when it appears in your library.
The change is not retroactive. Existing assets stay as they are and must be approved manually if needed.
The permission note, attachments, who turned it on, and when all appear on each rights-approved asset’s Licensing tab, so usage rights stay easy to track.
If you turn off automatic rights approval or stop following the account, new content are no longer approved automatically. Any previously approved assets keep their status.
