Facebook page Admin Roles - Who, What & Why?


Page admins can have 5 different roles, each with different abilities. Only managers can change what kind of admin someone is. All admins are managers by default.

Here is a great article by Natalie Alaimo about the different roles! Read full article here.

"For a very long time Facebook users have been waiting for Facebook to provide them with different levels of page administrators. It used to be that the original page creator couldn't be deleted as a page admin, and thankfully that has been changed. Until that change came about, any admin could delete any other admin - which, as you can imagine, caused some issues when businesses didn't go exactly as planned."
Claim what's yours!

So what to do? For sure have someone else build your Facebook page, but have a as a written condition that you are set as an Administrator from the start.

Always have at least two admin on your page.

That way if something was to happen to your personal profile someone else can still access your page. Using this reasoning, we recommend having two Manager roles, and as many of the other levels as is required. There is no official word on what happens if a page doesn't have any Managers (or a Manager) who can't access the page, however we assume that a Content Creator can't be automatically upgraded. Therefore it's important that you have at least two Managers. A Manager should be someone; you trust (ie partner, business partner, sibling), follows the Facebook rules and a person you aren't likely to have a falling out with (which could get nasty).
