2. From the left menu, select Page Settings
3. Select Page Roles
4. You will find the request under Partner Request or Ownership Requests. Select Respond to Request
5. Select Give Old Town Media access to my Page

If you are a Business Manager admin, you can also approve partner requests in this way:

1. Log in to your Business Manager
