How to Add an Admin to a Facebook Page
Managing a Facebook Page effectively often requires teamwork. Whether you’re running a business, a community, or a brand, assigning additional admins can help distribute responsibilities like posting updates, responding to messages, and managing settings.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to add an admin to your Facebook Page.
Step 1: Log In to Facebook
First, log in to the Facebook account that has admin access to the Page. Only users with admin roles can add other admins.
Step 2: Go to Your Facebook Page
- From your Facebook homepage, click “Pages” in the left-hand menu (or search for your Page by name).
- Select the Page you want to manage.
Step 3: Open Page Settings
- Once on the Page, click on “Settings” in the left-hand column.
- Then, click on “New Pages Experience” or “Page Access” depending on your layout.
Note: Facebook has been rolling out a new Pages Experience, so your options may vary slightly depending on whether your Page is using the classic or new layout.
Step 4: Add a New Admin
For Classic Pages:
- In Page Roles, click “Assign a New Page Role.”
- Type the name or email address of the person you want to add (they must have a Facebook account).
- Select “Admin” from the dropdown list of roles.
- Click “Add.”
- You may be prompted to enter your password to confirm.
For New Pages Experience:
- In Page Access, click “Add New” under People with Facebook Access.
- Enter the person’s name or email.
- Choose “Full Control” (this is equivalent to the Admin role).
- Click “Give Access,” then confirm with your password.
Step 5: Wait for Acceptance
The person you added will receive a notification or email from Facebook. They must accept the invitation to become an admin. Once they accept, they will have full admin privileges on the Page.
Important Tips
- Be cautious when assigning the Admin role—admins can remove other admins and change settings.
- If you’re adding someone temporarily, consider assigning them a lower role (like Editor or Moderator).
- Always verify the identity of the person you’re adding to avoid giving control to the wrong user.
Final Thoughts
Adding an admin to your Facebook Page is a simple but powerful way to share the workload and improve page management. Whether you’re growing a business or building a community, the right team makes all the difference. Just follow the steps above, and you’ll be ready to collaborate more effectively on Facebook.
