If you want to give someone full administrative control over your Facebook business or organization Page, you can assign that person a role in your Page settings. The steps are different depending on whether your Page is using the Classic Experience or the New Experience, but we'll cover both layouts. Read on to learn how to make someone an Admin, or give full control, on a Facebook Page.

Steps

1. Open the Facebook mobile app. It's the blue icon with a white "F" on your Home screen or in your app list.

   • As of February 2022, many Pages still have the Classic Pages Experience, which is an older-style layout, while others now have the New Pages Experience. If you don’t see the same options as below, see this method instead.
   • In the new Pages experience, "Admin" is replaced with "full control." Giving someone full control allows them to perform all administrative tasks, including adding/removing admins, changing permissions, and deleting the Page.
   • If you don't want to give full control, you can give partial control instead, which just allows the user to create content, manage messages, comment as the Page, and manage ads, insights, and events.

2. Go to your Page. Here's a simple way to get there:

   • Tap the menu icon, which you'll see at the bottom-right corner on an iPhone/iPad, or at the top-right on an Android.
   • Tap the Pages tile.
   • Tap the Page.

3. Tap the profile icon. It's the outline of a person inside of a circle.

4. Tap the Settings icon. It looks like a screwdriver and a wrench overlapping one another.

5. Tap Page Access. This displays a list of people with different roles on the Page, including current Admins, Editors, and Moderators.

   • If you want to change someone's access from partial to full control, tap the three dots next to the person's name, select Edit Access, change their control access, and then tap Update Access.

6. Tap Add New. It's next to "People with Facebook access." Some information about roles will appear.

7. Type the name or email address of the person you want to add. If you type a person's name, you'll see a list of matching search results. Click the correct person in the list to add them.

   Do you run a Facebook page for a brand? Maybe you run a personal page for you and some friends? Or perhaps you run a public Ariana Grande fan club page? (Or, you know, a page for one of your own personal interests.)

   Running a Facebook page on your own can be difficult. Thankfully, you can add administrators, or admins, to help you manage your page and keep things in order. More good news: Adding admins is super easy to do!

   Choose your fellow Facebook admins and get adding

   Anyone who's an admin can add fellow admins to a page. On your News Feed, navigate to your Facebook menu, which can be found in the upper lefthand corner of your screen. There, click on the "Pages" tab, marked by an orange flag.

   Select the page you want. Then, at the very top, where it says "Overview," scroll right and select the "... More" tab. Scroll down to "Page Controls," and underneath, select "Settings."

   

   In the "Settings" menu, select the "Page Roles" tab. Clicking on that will show you the current people with roles for your page, and at the very top, you’re given an option that says "Add Person to Page." Select that option, and then you may be prompted to enter your Facebook password for security purposes.

   Type the name of the Facebook user you want to assign a role to and select their name. Under their name and picture, there should be a list of roles you can assign them. You’ll find "Admin" at the very top. Select it and click "Add" at the bottom.

   

   That person will then show up in your "Page Roles" page as "pending" until they accept the role you’ve assigned them. Once they accept, they will be your page’s newest "Admin" until you remove them, which you can also do in the "Page Roles" menu by selecting the pen button next to the person's name and clicking "remove." That’s all there is to it!

   Enjoy having your new admin do all the work for yo– I mean, uh, lighten your workload by dividing up responsibilities fairly and sensibly. Yeah, that's it.

   Can I make someone else admin of a Facebook page?

Click to select the features you want this person to manage, then click Give Access.

   Why can't I add someone as admin on Facebook?

   The main reason adding a Facebook page admin can be problematic is if the person you want to add as an admin is not on Facebook or you are not friends with them. Besides, if they have not liked your Facebook page, then adding them won't work.

   How do I find the admin of a Facebook page 2022?

   Q: How do I see who the admin is on a Facebook page? A: Navigate to the Settings tab at the top right of the page, and find the Page roles section on the left. In the Facebook Help Center, you can read more about each of the roles and their capabilities.

   Can an admin remove the creator of a Facebook page 2022?

   Keep in mind that once you remove someone from being an admin, they'll no longer be able to remove members or admins, add new admins or edit the group description and settings. If the group creator is an admin of the group, they can't be removed as an admin unless they leave the group on their own. Was this helpful?
