Facebook Management: How To Add Additional Page Admins
If you're managing a Facebook page on behalf of a business or organization, odds are there are some features or sections you have never noticed before. Once a page has been created or once a person is granted with admin rights, most people are only familiar with the part of a Facebook page where they write status updates, share links, post photos and videos, and ask questions. However, one part of your admin panel you should be familiar with (or at least know where it is) is how to add or delete other admins to your page.
This is particularly important because if you don't want to be the sole person responsible for management of your organizations social media management on Facebook, you'll want to be sure to grant someone else admin rights to help you out. Conversely, this is where you would remove someone if you felt they no longer needed admin rights to your page. Quick note: Admin rights should be priviledged. With it comes a lot of power, not only can a person post whatever they want whenever they want, but they could even go so far as deleting the entire page with a few clicks. So definitely be careful with who you give admin rights to manage your organizations Facebook page.
For some reasons we come across a lot of businesses that have no idea how to add or remove admins to their Facebook page, so we have created this step-by-step guide to help you out.
Step 1: Go to your facebook page, if you are an admin you should see an "edit page" button to the top right of your page. Click on that.
Step 2: Once you click on the "edit page" tab, it will launch a Facebook admin dashboard for you. From here there are a slew of features, many of which, we'll cover in future blog posts. The one you want to care about for now is the "Manage Admins" section that lies seven down from the top.
Step 3: This is where you can either remove others that have already been granted admin rights of your page (yes, you can even delete the original page creator). However, if you want to add a new admin, you need to enter the email address that is tied to a personal facebook account for that user. Ideally, this is their personal Facebook account that they in fact use, not a newly created one just for managing a Facebook page. Because, if they have a personal facebook account and a seperate account strickly for your organization, they technically are in violation of Facebook's terms of service. Quick tip: If the person is your facebook friend, you don't have to type an active email address, you should be able to just type their name and Facebook should recommend them, similiar to how they suggest friends for tagging.
Step 4: Click on the "save changes" button and Facebook will have you re-enter your personal password to confirm the admin additition or removal. After this, you should be good.
If you are still confused, we took the liberty to create this quick video walking you through the steps too. Enjoy!
