## Key takeaways

- In Facebook's current Pages experience, the old 'Admin' role is now Facebook access with full control.
- To add one: switch to your Page, open Settings, go to Page setup → Page access, choose Add new, select the person and turn on full control.
- The person must accept the invitation before they can manage the Page.
- Give agencies and freelancers access through Meta Business Suite or a business portfolio rather than sharing logins, and give only the access they need.
- Keep at least two trusted people with full control, use two-factor authentication, and remove access when people leave.

**Short answer:** in Facebook's current Pages experience, the old **Admin** role is now **Facebook access with full control**. To add one, **switch into your Page**, open **Settings**, go to **Page setup → Page access**, choose **Add new** under people with Facebook access, select the person, **turn on full control** and select **Give access**. They must **accept the invitation**. For agencies, give access through **Meta Business Suite or your business portfolio** instead, and only the permissions they need.

## Why can't I see "Admin" any more?

**Facebook retired the classic Page roles.** Pages now use the Pages experience, where access is split into:

| Access type | What it allows |
| --- | --- |
| Facebook access, full control | Everything, including removing others and deleting the Page (the old "Admin") |
| Facebook access, partial control | Manage content, messages, ads and insights, but not people or Page deletion |
| Task access | Specific tasks (content, messages, community activity, ads, insights) through tools such as Meta Business Suite, without switching into the Page |

## How do I add an admin on a computer?

1. **Switch into your Page** (click your profile picture and choose the Page).
2. Click the Page's profile picture and choose **Settings & privacy → Settings**.
3. In the left menu, open **Page setup**, then **Page access**.
4. Next to **People with Facebook access**, click **Add new**.
5. **Search** for the person by name or email and select them.
6. **Turn on full control** (for an admin) or leave it off for partial control.
7. Click **Give access** and enter your password to confirm.

The person receives a notification and must **accept** before they can manage the Page.

## How do I add an admin on my phone?

1. Open the **Facebook app** and switch to your **Page**.
2. Tap the **menu** (three lines), then **Settings & privacy → Settings**.
3. Find **Page setup** and tap **Page access**.
4. Tap **Add new** under people with Facebook access.
5. Select the person, choose full control if needed and tap **Give access**.

Menu names occasionally change; if you can't find them, search "Page access" in Settings.

## How should I give my agency or freelancer access?

**Use Meta Business Suite or your business portfolio, not your login.**

- Add the agency as a **partner** to your business portfolio, or add individuals as people with the specific assets (Page, ad account, Instagram) they need
- Give **task access** for the work they do (ads, content, messages)
- Keep **full control** for owners only
- Never share your personal password; Meta treats shared logins as a security risk

This keeps the business in control and makes it easy to remove access when a contract ends. See what to include in a marketing agency contract.

## Why can't I add someone as an admin?

| Problem | Fix |
| --- | --- |
| You don't have full control yourself | Ask someone with full control to add the person |
| You can't find the person | Use their email, or ask them to check their privacy settings |
| They didn't accept | Ask them to check notifications and accept the invite |
| Security check or temporary restriction | Wait, confirm your identity, and try again later |
| The Page is managed in a business portfolio | Add them through Business Suite settings instead |

## How do I keep my Page secure?

**Keep two trusted owners, use two-factor authentication and remove old access promptly.**

- At least **two people with full control** from the business, so you're never locked out
- **Two-factor authentication** for everyone with access
- **Review access** every few months and remove former staff and agencies
- **Watch for scam messages** pretending to be Meta and asking you to "verify" your Page
- Consider **Meta Verified** for impersonation protection and support. See [Meta Verified for business](https://www.mangogrow.com/blog/meta-ads/meta-verified-for-business).

## How do I remove someone's access?

Go to **Settings → Page setup → Page access**, find the person, and choose **Remove** next to their name. People with full control can remove others with full or partial control.

## A worked example

A café owner set up the Facebook Page with a personal account years ago, and a former manager was the only other admin. The owner adds their business partner with full control, gives the new social media freelancer task access for content and messages through Business Suite, removes the former manager and turns on two-factor authentication for both owners. (Illustrative.)

## Common mistakes

- Only one person with full control
- Sharing your Facebook password with an agency
- Giving everyone full control
- Forgetting to remove former staff
- Clicking "verify your Page" links in messages

## The bottom line

To add an admin today, give someone Facebook access with full control from Page setup → Page access, and ask them to accept. Give agencies task access through Business Suite instead, keep two trusted owners and protect every account with two-factor authentication.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I make someone an admin on my Facebook Page?

Switch into your Page, go to Settings, then Page setup and Page access. Under people with Facebook access, select Add new, search for the person, turn on full control and select Give access. They need to accept the invite.

### Why can't I find the Admin role on my Facebook Page?

Pages using Facebook's newer Pages experience no longer show Admin, Editor or Moderator roles. Instead, you give Facebook access with full or partial control, or task access for specific jobs.

### Can I add an admin from the Facebook app?

Yes. Switch to your Page in the app, open the menu, go to Settings & privacy then Settings, find Page setup and Page access, select Add new and give the person access.

### Should I give my marketing agency full control of my Page?

Usually not. Give agencies access through Meta Business Suite or your business portfolio with only the permissions they need, so the business keeps ownership and can remove access easily.

### What should I do if I lost admin access to my Facebook Page?

Ask another person with full control to restore your access. If no one has access, use Meta's help centre recovery options and your business portfolio, if the Page is connected to one.
