How to Add an Admin to Your Facebook Page
Adding an admin to your Facebook business page is a crucial step as your business grows and your team expands. It allows you to delegate tasks and ensure your social media marketing is managed effectively by someone you trust. In this blog post, we’ll guide you through the process and explain the benefits and considerations of adding an administrator to your Facebook page.
What Does a Facebook Admin Do?
A Facebook Admin acts as the CEO of your page, with full access to manage all aspects of it. Their responsibilities include:
- Managing page roles and settings
- Editing the page and adding apps
- Creating and deleting posts
- Sending messages to followers
- Responding to and deleting comments
- Removing and banning users
- Managing ads
Facebook provides different page roles, such as Admin, Editor, Moderator, Advertiser, Analyst, and Jobs Manager. These roles allow you to assign specific permissions to team members, ensuring tasks are delegated without compromising security or functionality.
How to Add an Administrator to Your Facebook Page in 6 Easy Steps
Step 1: Verify Your Role as an Admin
Before adding another admin, ensure you already have Admin access. If you’re not an Admin, ask an existing Admin to update your page role.
Step 2: Log Into Your Facebook Account
Log into Facebook and navigate to your business page. You can find it under the “Manage Pages” option in the dropdown menu or the “Pages” section in your shortcuts.
Step 3: Go to Page Settings
Once on your business page, click the Settings button in the top right corner.
Step 4: Access Page Roles
In the left-hand menu, select Page Roles to access the dashboard where you can manage roles.
Step 5: Assign a New Page Role or Update Existing Roles
- To add a new admin, go to “Assign a New Page Role.” Enter my name Reg Moore or email address regmedia@gmail.com, select “Admin” from the role options, and send the invitation.
- If you’re updating an existing member’s role, find them under “Existing Page Roles” and change their role to Admin. The person will receive a notification to accept the change.
*Note: In some cases, the new admin must like your Facebook page before being added.*
Step 6: Confirm With Your Password
Facebook will prompt you to enter your password to confirm the change. This added security ensures unauthorized users cannot make changes to your page.
Benefits of Adding an Administrator
Delegation of Tasks
Adding an admin allows you to delegate responsibilities, such as moderation, advertising, and content creation, so you can focus on other aspects of your business.
Emergency Backup
If you’re locked out of your account or face a crisis, an additional admin can step in to manage the page and address urgent issues like customer messages or updates.
Coverage for Time Off
An admin ensures your Facebook page stays active even when you’re unavailable, such as during vacations or sick days.
Security Considerations
While adding an admin has many benefits, it’s essential to be cautious. Only assign the Admin role to someone you fully trust, as they can remove you as an admin or make significant changes to the page. If you have any doubts, consider assigning them the Editor role instead. Editors can handle day-to-day tasks without access to critical settings or permissions.
Final Thoughts
As your business grows, delegating social media tasks becomes necessary. Adding an admin to your Facebook page is an essential step in scaling your operations. By following the steps outlined above and taking precautions, you can ensure your page remains secure while effectively managed. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out!
