If you're in charge of social media, it's very likely you are going to need some help in the form of another admin, editor, etc. Facebook lets you choose between five different page roles so if you need to add someone to your page, or maybe remove someone who is not meeting the expectations, learn how to do it on desktop and on mobile.

Step 1

Add new Facebook admin

If you want to add a new Facebook page admin, go to your Facebook page and click on Settings (upper right part of the screen).

On the left side of the screen, you’ll find Page Roles button so click on that.

In Page Roles, click on Assign a New Page Role and then enter a name you wish to assign to your Facebook page and choose a type of role from the drop-down menu. You can find out more about the roles on the bottom of this page.

Click Add to finish the process.

Step 2

Facebook will ask you to re-enter your password for security reasons to make sure you are authorized to make this change.
Enter your password and click Submit.

By doing this you have added a new role to your Facebook page and the person you have added will receive a request.

Step 3

How to remove Facebook page admin

In order to remove Facebook page admin, follow the same steps as above mentioned – go to Settings – Page Roles.
You will see a list of all the existing page roles so choose the one you wish to remove by clicking  Remove. Confirm by clicking the Save button.

So that’s that, and if you need to see how to edit page roles on Facebook mobile app just click on the tab above to switch platforms.

The person that is is removed from page roles on your Facebook page will receive an automated e-mail notice stating that they no longer have that page role.

    Hi there! There’s a platform button just above step 1, where you can switch between web and iOS. Please note that with every Facebook update, their buttons change, so if you have the newest update of Facebook on your iPhone, tap the settings button on the upper-right part of your page screen (the little wheel), then tap Page Roles. Hope this helps!
