How to Add Someone as an Admin on Facebook Page | Adding Team Members

You want to know how to add someone as an Admin on Facebook Page, right? Facebook provides a simple way to help you add members to your team without any hassle.

At times it is not easy for you to manage a Facebook page singlehandedly. You might require a second person to look over your business, and that’s where adding a team member comes in handy.

This tutorial is aimed to help you add a team member to your existing Facebook page. So before proceeding make sure you have a Facebook page.

I will guide you through a step by step process to help you learn how to add someone as an admin on Facebook Page.

So let’s get started.

Steps on How to Add Someone as an Admin on Facebook Page

The first thing you gotta do is log in to your Facebook account, of course, and navigate to your Facebook Business Page.

My Facebook Page is Dumb IT Dude, so I am going to use that as an example.

Step 1: Open your Facebook Page. Make sure you are logged in to FB.

Step 2: Click on Settings which would be located on the top bar right next to Help option. It would be towards the right side.

NOTE: If you are using the new updated version of Facebook this option will be available here:

Step 3: Navigate to the row that says “Page Role” and click on it.

NOTE: Same will be available in the new Facebook design here:

Step 4: When you click on it the Page Roles section will open and will look something like this:

text box to enter name or email for page roles

Our interest area is the one that I have marked. The text box is supposed to take the name or email of the person you wish to add as a team member.

Multiple Options for Page Roles

When you click on the dropdown (or dropup, whatever that is) you will see you get tons of options to choose from.

If you don’t want to make someone an admin, you can choose to make them any of the following:

  1. Editor
  2. Moderator
  3. Advertiser
  4. Analyst
  5. Live Contributor

If you don’t want to give admin rights to the person you have in mind, you can simply choose to make him/her moderator, someone who could approve requests and stuff. To give them even lesser rights you can for an analyst or an advertiser. They will be able to access that respective section only. That way you can stay the boss!

Final Steps

Step 5: Time to enter the name of the person you wish to make an admin or a team member for that to matter. Type the name of the person you have in mind in the box:

Then select the role using that dropdown menu. We were to trying to make someone an admin so we will select that here.

NOTE: As you can see Facebook tries to warn you that if you make someone an admin they will have access to everything the way you have, and will be considered your equal in the team. So it’s your choice whether to make them an admin or limit them by giving them a different role say for e.g. Moderator.

I will go ahead and make him an admin.

Step 6: Once you are done, just click on the Add button.

You will be required to enter password once again for security reasons.

Step 7: Enter your password once again and click on Submit button.

enter your password once again

That’s it! That person will be added as the role specified. You can see whether or not the person has been added to the specified role in the Existing Page Roles section underneath:

Alright, now you can go ahead and do that yourself. Godspeed!

    After entering name and admin, I do not get a request for my password. And, the ADD box does not highlight. What then???

      Hi Doc Wood,

      Request for password is just like a confirmation if you are indeed the admin of the account. It wouldn’t come necessarily. Does then name of the person come as suggestions when you are typing him/her? You have to click it from there, that’s when the ADD box gets highlighted.

      Hope that works for you.

      Cheers
