If you want to give someone full administrative control over your Facebook business or organization Page, you can assign that person a role in your Page settings. The steps are different depending on whether your Page is using the Classic Experience or the New Experience, but we'll cover both layouts. Read on to learn how to make someone an Admin, or give full control, on a Facebook Page.

Method 1

Method 1 of 4:

Phone or Tablet (New Pages)

1
Open the Facebook mobile app. It's the blue icon with a white "F" on your Home screen or in your app list.
- As of February 2022, many Pages still have the Classic Pages Experience, which is an older-style layout, while others now have the New Pages Experience. If you don’t see the same options as below, see this method instead.
- In the new Pages experience, "Admin" is replaced with "full control." Giving someone full control allows them to perform all administrative tasks, including adding/removing admins, changing permissions, and deleting the Page.
- If you don't want to give full control, you can give partial control instead, which just allows the user to create content, manage messages, comment as the Page, and manage ads, insights, and events.^{[1]

Tap the Settings icon. It looks like a screwdriver and a wrench overlapping one another.
5
Tap Page Access. This displays a list of people with different roles on the Page, including current Admins, Editors, and Moderators.
- If you want to change someone's access from partial to full control, tap the three dots next to the person's name, select Edit Access, change their control access, and then tap Update Access.
6
Tap Add New. It's next to "People with Facebook access." Some information about roles will appear.
7
Tap Next.
8
Type the name or email address of the person you want to add. If you type someone's name, a list of search results will appear—tap the person you want to add when you see them.
9
Tap the switch to give the user full control. The switch will turn blue, which means you'll be giving that person total administrative access to the Page.
10
Tap Give Access. You'll be asked to confirm your password.
11
Type your Facebook password and tap Confirm. The selected user will receive an email invitation to manage the Page. Once they accept the invitation, they'll have full control.
- To accept the invitation, the person can click the link in the email message they receive from Facebook or tap the notification in Facebook.
