How to Add Admin in Facebook Page [An Easy-to-follow Tutorial]

You want to know how to add admins to your Facebook page and we’re going to show you how to do that today.

And stick around to the end because we’re also covering 1 wildly important key thing to keep in mind before you add the first person.

So “a Facebook page Admin has the highest level of access on a Facebook business page.

Admins can manage all aspects of a Facebook Page…

…from assigning roles and changing others’ roles to publishing to your Page and sending Messenger messages on behalf of the business.”

In this post, we’re going to show you how to add admin in Facebook page. 

Let’s get started!

Steps On How To Add Admin In Facebook Page

When looking at your business page, scroll down the left-hand side menu and click Settings. 

Then scroll down and click Page Roles, and look under the “Assign a new page role” section. 

You can type in the name or email address of the person you want to add, select Admin as the role and click Add.

If you’re adding them by email, you want to make sure it’s the email they used to sign up on Facebook, not just any email address they use. 

If you’re sure you’ve got the correct email address or name typed in…

…but it’s still not letting you add the person, try adding them as a friend on Facebook first, and then wait for 1 day. 

Then come back and try again and it should let you add them.

And that’s how to add admin in Facebook page.

Important Thing To Keep In Mind

Now before you go running off adding admins left and right, we have a huge, huge word of caution for you. 

Do NOT add anybody as an admin that you don’t trust or know well. 

If somebody else is an Admin, they can remove you as an Admin.

And just like that, you’ve lost access to your page, and there’s a slim to no chance you’ll get it back. 

It’s an extremely common scam that’s been going around for some time now where people trick you into giving them admin access…

…either by offering “free advertising” done for your page or free marketing. 

Then once they get Admin access, they remove you and your team so they’re the only ones with access to your page and followers.

This scam has happened so much in the last year that we made these two posts – Facebook recovery and Facebook business chat support…

…about how to avoid it or at least try to get access back. 

But the best way to avoid it altogether is to only give admin access to people you absolutely trust.

And keep in mind that there are other roles you can give people outside of Admin. 

There’s an Editor, Moderator, Advertiser, Analyst, and Custom. 

If you just need someone to stay on top of your messages and respond to them for you, you can add them as a Moderator. 

If you need someone to be able to publish content and your Facebook ad campaign…

…as well as respond to comments and messages, add them as an Editor.

Not everybody needs Admin access.

So don’t just give people- coworkers or otherwise- Admin access willy-nilly. 

If your admin access is wrongfully removed by someone, and you get in touch with Facebook Support about what happened…

…it’s not guaranteed that they will be able to help you at all. 

Because ultimately, you’re the one who gave the person admin access.

So we can’t stress this enough, be very selective about who you give admin access to.
