If you don\u2019t think that level of control is appropriate then consider giving them an editor or moderator role instead. However, if that all sounds good then let\u2019s dive into the how-to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adding Facebook Page Admins from the Page Settings Menu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Log in to Facebook, and navigate to the relevant Page. Go to the \u2018Settings\u2019 option in the top right of the Page, which will cause a menu to open down the left-hand side of the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Click on the Page Roles option to open a new dialogue window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are three options available to you: Assign a new Page role, Agencies, and Existing Page roles. As you might expect, we\u2019re going to Assign a new Page role. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adding a Facebook Admin via Email<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In the Assign a new Page role section, there is a box for you to enter the new admin\u2019s email address. Facebook will use this email address to grant the person access to the Page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It all sounds straightforward, but this is the point at which lots of people go wrong. You need to make sure that you use the email address that the person uses to log into Facebook<\/strong>. It won\u2019t work if you enter their work email address for example, but they actually use their personal email for their Facebook log-in instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you\u2019ve entered the email address, you\u2019ll be asked to select the level of access for the person via a pop-up menu, starting at the bottom level of Live Contributor all the way up to Admin. Click on Admin and then Add, to complete the process.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a perfect world, that would be it. You\u2019ve followed the official Facebook process, you\u2019ve clicked all the right buttons and hey presto, you have a new Page admin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If only it always worked like that! Back in the real world, Facebook doesn\u2019t always do what it\u2019s supposed to do, and there are frequently times when following the correct process doesn\u2019t lead to the desired result!<\/p>\n\n\n\n You might find that you click all the right buttons but the person hasn\u2019t been added as an admin. If that happens then there are a couple of things you can try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you find that the process hasn\u2019t worked, it might be because you\u2019re not friends with the person that you\u2019re trying to add. Send them a friend request, get them to accept it, log back into Facebook and then try again. Sometimes this will magically correct the problem. If not then it\u2019s on to the next potential remedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you go back to Settings \u2013 Page Roles \u2013 type the person\u2019s name into the Assign a new Page role box, you might see the word \u2018Pending\u2019 next to their name. If that\u2019s the case then Facebook has logged that you\u2019d like to add them as an admin, but they may need to accept the invite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ask the person to log in to Facebook, then go to www.facebook.com\/Pages<\/a> and go to the Invites section. They should see the option to accept your invitation to be an admin, which should solve the problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Like all things in the tech world, there are things that simply just don\u2019t work. Bugs are everywhere and this is one annoying one I\u2019ve dealt with over the years. Maybe you have too many people named \u201cChris\u201d on your list and the right one doesn\u2019t pop up. Maybe their name has a special or accented letter that fucks with the search bar. Whatever the reason, there is but one solution left to try:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Search for the profile ID of the person you\u2019re trying to add as a Facebook admin. Most people have custom profile IDs (usually their name or a nickname) and they can be found just by visiting their Facebook profile. It\u2019s right in the URL, so copy and paste that ID to add them as a Page admin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Up to now we\u2019ve been looking at how to add an admin to a normal Facebook Page, but it might be that you want to add an admin in Business Manager mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, navigate to Business Manager using https:\/\/business.facebook.com\/<\/a>. If you\u2019re logged in and have the correct permissions then this will allow you to edit your business settings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Click on the Business Settings option at the top of the screen on the right-hand side, which will open a menu down the left-hand side of the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Click on the \u2018People\u2019 option if it\u2019s not already highlighted, then hit Add. Enter the email of the person that you\u2019d like to become an admin. Remember though, this specifically needs to be their Facebook log-in email and not just any email you happen to have!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Choose which level of access you\u2019d like the person to have. Most people select \u2018Employee access\u2019, as this gives all the necessary permissions whereas \u2018Admin access\u2019 allows people to see things like billing and finances. Click \u2018Next\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The next screen you see will ask you to \u2018select the assets\u2019 that you would like the person to have access to. This is just a grand way of asking you to choose which Page to add them to. Click on the relevant asset (Page), and then choose what permissions to grant the person on the right-hand side of the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Choose carefully here: if you give someone full Admin control then they could actually go as far as deleting your Page. Most people find it safer to just allow content publishing, comment moderation etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The person will receive an email telling them they\u2019ve been granted Admin access to your Page, and they can log in and start work from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It sounds like common sense, but actually it\u2019s quite easy to find yourself in a position where there\u2019s no Facebook admin for a Page. Maybe the current Page admin has left your company, and removes themselves. Maybe you remove yourself by accident!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The problem is that only a Page admin can add another Page admin\u2026so you see the problem. Try to always keep at least one full admin active on your Page! If you fall foul of this then you\u2019ll have to contact Facebook, and good luck with that\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Personally, I have a family member or close friend as a safety net admin<\/em> of sorts just in case something happens to my personal profile. They don\u2019t touch my content, page or anything at all really – unless there\u2019s an emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve had my profile suspended before, so having backup admins really saved my ass. I would have lost dozens of Facebook pages, some with hundreds of thousands of page likes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When you commit to your Facebook growth<\/a>, you should also invest some time and effort into the long-term security of your brand!<\/p>\n\n\n\n As I\u2019ve mentioned a few times in the article, granting Page admin rights is quite a big deal as the person will gain quite a lot of control over your content. Make sure you know and trust the people that you add! I cannot<\/em> stress this enough!<\/p>\n\n\n\n And while this blog has focused on Facebook Pages, you should keep the same mentality when choosing admins for your Facebook Groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learn More About Growing and Managing Brands on Facebook!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 How to Build Your First Fanbase on Facebook in 10 Days<\/a>![\"Facebook](\"https:\/\/christweten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Facebook-admin-mod-roles-chart.png\")
