How to add an administrator to a Facebook page

Managing a Facebook page is an important activity for businesses and professionals who want to promote their online presence. A well-managed Facebook page can increase visibility, improve engagement with the audience, and generate new customers.

In this guide, I will show you how to add an administrator to a Facebook page, one of the first steps in effectively managing your presence on Facebook.

What are Facebook page administrators?

Administrators are people who have access to manage the Facebook page. There are different levels of authorization for administrators, each with different responsibilities and permissions.

  • Administrator: has complete access to manage the page, including the ability to add or remove other administrators and modify page settings.
  • Editor: has access to create posts on the page, edit existing posts, and respond to comments.
  • Moderator: has access to respond to comments on the page and remove offensive or inappropriate comments.
  • Analyst: has access to page statistics, including post views and audience engagement.

Adding an administrator to your Facebook page can be useful if you need help managing the page or want to delegate some responsibilities to another person.

Accessing the Facebook Page as an Administrator

To access the Facebook Page as an administrator, you must have been added as such by another administrator of the Page. Once you have been added as an administrator, you can access the Page with the following instructions:

  1. Open a web browser and visit the Facebook website.
  2. Enter the email address or phone number associated with the administrator account of the page in the "Email or Phone" field.
  3. Enter the password for the administrator account in the "Password" box.
  4. Click on the "Log In" button to access the administrator account.
  5. Select the Facebook page for which you have been added as an administrator from the left menu.

Once you have logged into the Facebook Page as an administrator, you will be able to manage all aspects of the Page, including posts, settings, and analytics. It is important to use a secure and reliable administrator account to prevent unauthorized access to the Page.

Adding a New Administrator

To add a new administrator to your Facebook page, follow these simple steps:

  1. Login to your Facebook page and click on "Settings" tab at the top of the page.
  2. In the left column, select "Page Roles".
  3. Click on the "Add Another Admin" button.
  4. Enter the email address of the person you want to add as an admin and select the role you want to assign them (admin, moderator, analyst etc.).
  5. Click "Add" to send the invitation.

At this point, the person will receive an email notification with instructions on how to accept the invitation and become an administrator of your page. Remember that only existing Facebook accounts can be added as administrators.

In addition, it is important to carefully choose new administrators for your page. Make sure they are reliable and competent people who can properly manage your company or organization's online presence.

Assigning Administrator Roles

After adding a new administrator to your Facebook page, you need to assign them a role. There are several roles available and each has access to different functions on the page.

Roles available for Facebook page administrators:

  • Admin: has full access to all page functions and can manage other administrators.
  • Editor: can create posts, edit the page, and view statistics but cannot manage other administrators.
  • Moderator: can create posts and edit the page but cannot delete the page or manage other administrators.
  • Advertiser: can create and view ads on the page but cannot create posts or edit the page.
  • Insights Analyst: can only view page statistics without access to other functions.

To assign a role to the newly added administrator, follow these steps:

  1. Go to your Facebook page and click on "Settings".
  2. In the left column, select "Page Roles".
  3. Enter the name of the user you want to add as an administrator in the "Assign a New Role" section.
  4. Select the role you want to assign to the user from the dropdown menu.
  5. Click "Add".
  6. Enter your password to confirm the operation.

Note: Only existing administrators can add or remove other administrators from the page. Additionally, each administrator can only have one Facebook account associated with the page.

Removing an Administrator from Your Facebook Page

If you need to remove an administrator from your Facebook page, here's what you need to do:

  1. Login to your Facebook page and click on "Settings" in the top right corner.
  2. In the left column, select "Page Roles".
  3. Find the administrator you want to remove from the list of page roles.
  • Click on the arrow next to their name and select "Remove from Page".
  • Confirm the removal of the admin by clicking "Remove".

Remember that only admins can be removed from Pages. If you want to remove yourself from the Page, you must first add another admin.

Also, keep in mind that when you remove an admin from your Facebook Page, any content or activity they've posted won't be deleted. However, they'll lose access to the Page and won't be able to make any further changes or post new content.

Make sure to think carefully before removing an admin from your Facebook Page. If you're concerned about page security, you can instead modify their role to limit their permissions.

Conclusion

Removing an admin from your Facebook Page is a simple and quick process. However, it's important to make sure you think carefully before doing so, as this action can have significant consequences. If you're concerned about page security, you can instead modify the admin's role to limit their permissions. Always remember to keep your Facebook Page safe and secure!
