When you create a business page for your small business on Facebook, it is important to understand how to manage which individuals have access to this page. Each page will have an admin to manage various roles for your business page. Learn below how to navigate this process.
DIFFERENT ADMIN ROLES:
First and foremost, it is important to understand the different types of admin roles within Facebook …
- Admin = Allows total and complete access to making changes on a page. It is essential
that the owner of the business has the role of Admin. - Editor = This role allows access to everything on the page excluding managing the page
roles and settings. - Moderator = Permission to send messages and respond to them as comments on the
page. - Jobs manager = Ability to post job openings and manage received applications through
the page. - Advertiser = Permission to create ads and view insights of these ads through analytics.
- Analyst = This role can only see insights and who has published posts on a page
through the analytics setting.
TO GIVE SOMEONE A ROLE:
If you are already an admin …
- Click “Pages” in the left menu – if you don’t see “Pages”, click “See More” first
- Go to your desired Page, and click “Settings” in the left-hand menu
- Click “Page Roles”
- Under this page, click “Assign a New Page Role”, and type in the name or email in the
box that you want to be the new admin. Once you begin typing the name or email, select
the person from the list that will appear. If you are not already facebook friends with the
person you are trying to add, they will have to accept your invite before they can be
changed to admin - Click “Editor” and select the role you want from the dropdown menu.
- Then click “Add” and enter your Facebook password to confirm the change
