Managing a Facebook Page, especially one that represents a business, organization, or community, often requires teamwork. Whether you’re delegating tasks, bringing on a social media manager, or simply need backup, adding an admin to your Facebook Page can make life a lot easier.
In this article, we’ll walk you step-by-step through the process of adding an admin to your Facebook Page, including requirements, role differences, and tips for managing your team securely.
Why Add an Admin to Your Facebook Page?
Adding another admin offers several benefits:
- Shared Responsibility: You don’t have to manage everything alone.
- 24/7 Monitoring: With more admins in different time zones, you can respond faster to messages and comments.
- Specialized Roles: Assign tasks like content creation, advertising, or community management to specific team members.
Role Levels on a Facebook Page
Before adding someone as an admin, it’s important to understand the different roles you can assign:
| Role | What They Can Do |
|---|---|
| Admin | Full control — can manage roles, settings, content, messages, ads, and analytics |
| Editor | Can edit the page, publish posts, respond to messages, and view insights |
| Moderator | Can respond to messages and comments, create ads, and view insights |
| Advertiser | Can create ads and view insights |
| Analyst | Can only view insights and see who published posts |
| Custom Roles | Can be assigned specific access in Meta Business Suite |
🔒 Tip: Only assign the Admin role to people you fully trust — they have the same permissions as you and can even remove you from the page.
Requirements Before You Start
To add an admin to a Facebook Page, you need:
- Admin Access Yourself – Only current admins can add new admins.
- The Other Person to Have a Facebook Profile – You’ll need to add them via their personal account.
- (Optional): If your page is connected to a Meta Business Suite, you may have to assign roles from there instead.
