Adding Admin to a Facebook Page: A Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Understanding Your Page’s Settings
Before adding admins to your Facebook page, it’s essential to understand the current settings and restrictions in place. As of the latest Facebook update, admins can only be added to a page by the page owner or a page admin who has the necessary permissions. Page owners can only add admins who have the "Page Admin" permission.
Here’s what you need to do:
- Log in to your Facebook page’s settings by clicking on the three horizontal lines at the top right corner of the page and selecting "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
- Scroll down to the "Account settings" section.
- Click on "PageAdmins" from the list on the left-hand side.
Step 2: Creating a Page Admin for Your Page
- To create a page admin, you need to create a new group for admins to join and then invite the page owner to join.
- Step-by-step:
- Click on the "Add Group" button at the top right corner of the page.
- Enter a name for the group and click "Create Group".
- Click on the "Add member" button and select "Admins" from the drop-down menu.
- Enter the name of the admin you want to invite and click "Add member".
- Repeat the process for all admins you want to add.
Step 3: Adding Admins to the Page
- To add admins to the page, you need to follow these steps:
- Log in to your Facebook page’s settings by clicking on the three horizontal lines at the top right corner of the page and selecting "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
- Scroll down to the "Account settings" section.
- Click on "PageAdmins" from the list on the left-hand side.
- Click on the "Add admin" button and enter the admin’s email address.
- Once you’ve entered the admin’s email address, you can choose to have them receive email notifications and/or to be notified when someone comments on or shares the page.
Important:
- You can’t add admins to a page if you’ve previously removed them. If you’ve removed an admin from your page, you can’t add them back.
- admins can only have one "PageAdmin" permission to manage their Facebook page. Revoke this permission to prevent admins from making changes to your page.
Tips and Best Practices:
- Make sure to update your Facebook page’s settings regularly to reflect any changes to your page’s permissions and admin settings.
- Use a clear and concise name for your group of admins to make it easier for admins to join and find the page.
- Set up notifications for admins to receive to help ensure they receive important updates about their page.
