How to Add an Admin to Your Facebook Page (With Pictures!)

Who Can Add an Admin to Facebook Page

Not everyone can add admin to a Facebook page. To be able to add an admin to any Facebook page, you must either be an owner of the page or an admin of the page.

Without having such access, you won’t be able to add or remove an admin from your Facebook page.

What a New Admin Means on Facebook Page

You are automatically made the admin when you create a Facebook page. This role allows you to have full control over the page.

As a Facebook page admin, you assign page roles, create ads, reply to comments, post directly to Facebook from Instagram and more.

Facebook Page Roles

The Facebook page has five roles that you can assign. They are:

• Admin
• Advertiser
• Moderator
• Editor
• Analyst

With each role, there are certain actions that can be performed. The admin is the highest and can assign every other role to people. Hence, adding an admin to a Facebook page can be a big deal.

It is important to trust the persons that you make admin on your Facebook page as they have the ability to kick you out of the page.

Assigning different page roles ensures that your Facebook business page is performing optimally and secure.

Step 3: Tap on Page Roles

The Page roles tab is designed to help you manage your team. Before assigning any page role, I recommend that you read the Facebook’s guide so you don’t make any mistakes.

Once you are convinced to have a new admin on your Facebook page and there’s someone available to take up the role, navigate to the Assign a new Page role tab.

Step 4: Assign a New Page Administrator

As mentioned above, to be able to assign a new page admin on Facebook, you must have the person’s Facebook name or email address.

Enter either one in the section provided and select a role for the person from the toggle bar — this should be Admin.

You can also detail the expectations in the description section to help improve your business process.

Lastly, tap on the Add button. Under the Existing Page roles, the person you just added will appear there.

They will also receive notifications on Facebook and email about their new status. Once they accept, the role becomes official.

Step 5: Edit an Admin’s Page Role to Remove Them

You can also decide to remove an admin from a Facebook page.

You can find all your existing administrators in the Existing Page roles, tap on the Edit button beside their names to change or remove their access.

You will be redirected to a page where you can change their Facebook page role or completely remove them.

If you want to add someone else as an admin on your Facebook page, go through the steps above again.
