Adding an admin to a Facebook business page
Adding an admin to your Facebook business page can be essential for growing your business. Many hands make light work, and with extra admins you can communicate more effectively, carry out marketing strategies and provide customer service. Here is a simple, step-by-step guide on how to add someone as an admin of your Facebook business page.
Make sure you have admin rights
Only the current admin of a Facebook business page can add new admins. Make sure you are logged in to your account with the necessary rights. If you don’t have these rights, you will need to contact an existing admin to make these changes.
Go to your Facebook business page
Navigate to your business page. You can do this directly via Facebook or via the link you usually use to manage your page.
Open the settings
Look for the ‘Settings’ tab at the top of your page. In the mobile app you may find this in the menu under ‘More’ or the icon with three dots.
Go to ‘Page roles’
In the settings you will find a menu on the left-hand side. Click on ‘Page roles’. Here you can add new roles and manage existing ones.
Add a new admin
Scroll to the section ‘Assign a new page role’. Here you can enter the name or email address of the person you want to add. Make sure the person you add is already your friend on Facebook, or that you use the email address they use for their Facebook account.
Choose the role
Facebook offers several roles: Admin, Editor, Moderator, Advertiser, Analyst, and Live contributor. Each of these roles has different levels of access and rights. Choose ‘Admin’ for full access.
Confirm the changes
After you have added the desired person and selected the role, click on ‘Add’. Facebook may ask you to re-enter your password to confirm the change.
Inform the new admin
After you have added someone as an admin, it is a good idea to inform them about the responsibilities and expectations. They may need to accept the invitation, so quick communication can be useful.
Extra tips
- Be careful when choosing admins: Because admins have full access to the page, it is important that you choose people you trust.
- Keep it clear: Too many admins can lead to inconsistencies. Make sure you have a clear policy on who does what.
- Regular audits: Regularly check who has access to your page and adjust the roles if necessary.
By following these steps, you can effectively add new admins to your Facebook business page, which is essential for the management and growth of your online presence.
