As your Page grows, you might need help maintaining it. Page roles allow you to add other people to help manage your Page. Each of these roles comes with specific access and permissions. Only an admin can assign roles and change others' roles.
When you create a Page, you automatically become its admin. This means you have full access to all features and settings on a Page and the ability to assign roles to others. Bear in mind that multiple people can have roles on a Page, but each person needs their own personal Facebook account.
Let's look at the other Page roles.

How to Add an Admin to Your Facebook Page, and Manage Page Roles
- Adding someone as an admin on a Facebook page gives them the highest permissions available.
- You can always manage who has a page role on your Facebook page and edit their permissions without needing to re-add them.
- Facebook delivers a pop-up message that outlines exactly what the admin role entails.
Whether you manage a brand page or your own personal page on Facebook, sometimes you need a team of people who can edit and publish content, look at information about your followers, and more.
Once you've created a page, Facebook lets you add people to your page with different levels of permissions. The role with the most permissions is known as an admin. Here's how to add an admin to your page.
How to add someone as an admin on your Facebook page1. Go to your Facebook page. On the left sidebar menu, scroll down and click "Settings."
Select "Settings" on the left side of your page.
Grace Eliza Goodwin/Insider 2. This will take you to the general Page Settings menu. On the left sidebar menu, scroll down and click "Page roles."
Select "Page roles" on the left. Grace Eliza Goodwin/Insider3. In the "Assign a New Page Role" section, start typing the name of the person you want to assign to the page. The dropdown menu will offer you suggestions and you can choose the person you want from there.
4. Click the box next to their name to reveal a dropdown menu of role options.
Click the role box beside their name. Grace Eliza Goodwin/Insider5. In the dropdown list, select the "Admin" option.
Select "Admin" from the list. Grace Eliza Goodwin/Insider5.
A reminder will pop up that reads: "If you're adding a new admin to your Page, please keep in mind that they'll have the same permission as you do to make changes to this Page."
6. Once you have the right name, click "Add." Facebook will then prompt you to re-enter your password to make sure it's you that is making the change.
7. Under "Existing Page Roles," the person's name will now show up with a red "pending" message next to it.
8. Once the person receives the notification, they can accept and their role will show up under the "Existing Page Roles" section. This shows you each person on your page, categorized by their permissions. For example, you can have one person under admin and one person under editor.
Existing page roles are organized by how many permissions they hold. Eva Recinos/InsiderYou can also use this menu to edit the permissions for each person on your page.
So if you have someone as an Editor already, you can change them to admin by clicking on the "Edit" option.
When you click "Edit," a dropdown menu will appear that lets you choose another role for that person. This way, there's no need to re-add them to your page. You can also use this part of the menu to remove people from your page.
You can edit someone's role at any time. Eva Recinos/InsiderHow to see who is following your Facebook profile or page
