One of the most common questions that we receive relates to Facebook business pages and giving someone else access to their page. Unlike Twitter and Instagram, instead of the FB page having a username and password, you will instead have to grant ‘admin’ rights to the person in question and in order to do that, they must have a personal Facebook profile already in place. If this is not the case, they will have to create one.

Please see below for the required steps.

You’ll need to be an admin to manage roles for your Page. There’s no limit to the number of people who can have a role on a Page. Learn how toΒ see what your role isΒ andΒ what each Page role can do.
In some cases, grey accounts can’t become admins of Pages. If you have a grey account and want to become a Page admin, you canΒ create a new account.
If you’re an admin:
  • From your News Feed, clickΒ PagesΒ in the left menu.
  • Go to your Page and clickΒ Page settingsΒ in the bottom left.
  • ClickΒ Page rolesΒ in the left column.
  • Type a name or email in the box and select the person from the list that appears.
  • ClickΒ EditorΒ to select a role from the drop-down menu.
  • ClickΒ AddΒ and enter your password to confirm.
Bear in mind that if you’re not friends with the person you’re adding, they’ll have toΒ accept your inviteΒ before they can start helping you manage your Page.
Remove someone who has a role
If you’re an admin:
  • From your News Feed, clickΒ PagesΒ in the left menu.
  • Go to your Page and clickΒ Page settingsΒ in the bottom left.
  • ClickΒ Page rolesΒ in the left column.
  • ClickΒ EditΒ next to the person you want to remove, and then clickΒ Remove.
  • ClickΒ Confirm. You may need to enter your password.
You can always remove yourself from a Page, but if you’re the Page’s only admin, you’ll need to add another admin first. If you want to remove another admin, they may need to approve your request before they can be removed.
Change someone’s role
If you’re an admin:
  • From your News Feed, clickΒ PagesΒ in the left menu.
  • Go to your Page and clickΒ Page settingsΒ in the bottom left.
  • ClickΒ Page rolesΒ in the left column.
  • ClickΒ EditΒ next to the name of the person whose role you want to change and then select a new role from the drop-down menu.
  • ClickΒ Save. You may need to enter your password to confirm.
Note: If you’re a new admin, bear in mind that you may need to wait seven days before you can remove or demote another admin.

New Pages experience

If you have Facebook access with full control of a Page in the new Pages experience, you can manage people’s Facebook access or task access to the Page. You can add, edit or remove someone’s Page access at any time. Learn more aboutΒ access in the new Pages experience.
You can’t give Page access to a grey account. If you’d like to give Page access to someone with a grey account, they should access the Page through their personal Facebook account orΒ create a new account. Then, you can give the new account access to your Page.
Bear in mind that: You need toΒ switch into your PageΒ to manage Page access.
