Get in TouchBefore You Start
Adding an admin to your Facebook Business Page gives them full control to manage posts, respond to messages, and access insights. Here's what you need before getting started:
Prerequisites:
You must be a Page admin
Only existing admins can add new admins
The person needs a Facebook account
They must have an active personal Facebook profile
They should follow/like your page first
Facebook often requires this before you can add them as admin
Important: Have them follow your page first
Before starting these steps, ask the person you're adding to search for and Like/Follow your Facebook Page. If they haven't followed your page, they may not appear when you search for their name.
Switch to Your Page
Open the Facebook app on your phone. You'll need to navigate to your Page's profile so that the rest of the steps apply to your Page (not your personal account).
Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top-right corner.
Tap the dropdown arrow next to your name to see your Pages and profiles.
Find your Page name in the list and tap on it to switch to your Page.
You'll see a "Switching to [Page Name]..." screen. Wait for it to finish loading.
Tip
Look for "See all profiles" or your Page name/icon to switch accounts. You'll know you've switched when your profile picture in the top corner changes to your Page's logo.
Open Settings
Now that you've switched to your Page, you need to navigate to Settings. This takes a few taps through the menu.
Once on your Page's feed, tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top-left corner.
Scroll down in the menu and tap "Settings and privacy" to expand it.
Tap "Settings" (the first option in the expanded list).
Add New Admin
Now navigate through the Settings to find Page Access, search for the person, and give them admin control. Follow each sub-step below.
In Settings, scroll down to the "Audience and visibility" section.
Tap "Page setup" in the Audience and visibility section.
Tap "Page access" to manage who has access to your Page.
Tap "Add new" next to "People with Facebook access".
Read the information about Facebook access, then tap "Next".
Type the name of the person you want to add in the search bar.
Tap on the correct person from the search results.
Can't find the person?
Make sure they have followed/liked your Page first. If they still don't appear, double-check the spelling of their name or ask them for their exact Facebook profile name.
Review the permissions, then tap "Give access" at the bottom. Make sure the "Allow this person to also have full control" toggle is on if you want them to be a full admin.
What "Full Control" means:
Anyone with full control can:
- Give other people access to the Page
- Remove anyone from the Page, including you
- Delete the Page entirely
Only enable this for people you fully trust with your Page.
Enter your Facebook password and tap "Confirm".
Facebook may ask you to verify via email. Check your email for a verification code, enter it, and tap "Continue".
You should now see the person listed under "People with Facebook access". The invite will expire in 31 days if they don't accept.
You're All Set!
The person you added should now have admin access to your Page. They'll receive a notification and can start managing your Page right away.
