So you’re ready to add an Admin to your Facebook page? Congrats. That probably means your business is growing, you’re adding to your team, and you need to delegate work to someone you trust to run your social media marketing.
What Does Your Facebook Admin Do?
Your administrator on Facebook is the CEO—the member with access to everything on your Facebook page. A Facebook Admin can manage page roles and settings, edit the page and add apps, create and delete posts, send messages to followers, respond to and delete comments, remove and ban people from your Page, manage ads, and a lot more. During this process, you’ll see that every Facebook for Business page has roles—from Admin to Editor to Moderator to Advertiser, Analyst, and Jobs Manager. Facebook features a variety of roles so your business can restrict certain permissions and access within your internal team or marketing agency. That way, you can assign social media experts to certain tasks without the risk of cybersecurity breaches or an innocent mistake that breaks something on your Facebook page. So how do you add an Administrator to Facebook so you can control everything on this social media marketing channel? It’s easy. Follow the next six steps.How to Add an Administrator to Facebook in 5 Easy Steps
