Facebook Page Admin: How to Add and Manage Roles
Admin • Editor • Moderator • Advertiser • New Pages Experience
Where to Manage Access
- Open your Page → Settings → Page Access (New Pages Experience).
- Two types: People with Facebook access (manage as their profile) and Task access (limited actions).
- For ads via Business Manager, assign permissions in Meta Business Settings too.
Add an Admin or Editor
- Go to Settings → Page Access.
Roles Explained
- Admin: Full control, can change settings and roles.
- Editor: Create/edit posts, manage content, view insights.
- Moderator: Manage comments/messages, limited content actions.
- Advertiser: Create ads; needs ad account access in Business Settings.
Best Practices
- Use Business Manager for team/company permissions rather than personal access.
- Keep at least 2 Admins to avoid lockout.
- Regularly review roles and revoke access for ex-employees.
Troubleshooting
- Invite not received: Ask them to check notifications and email; resend invite.
- Cannot add user: Make sure you are an Admin; try via business.facebook.com/settings.
- Ad account not visible: Grant permissions under Business Settings → Accounts → Ad Accounts.
FAQs
- Can I add without being friends? Yes—use profile URL/email within Business Settings.
- Does Editor need Business Manager? Not for Page tasks; yes for running ads.
- Can I restrict access times? Not natively; remove access when not needed.
