Adding an Admin on a Facebook Page: A Step-by-Step Guide
Getting Started
Before we dive into the details, it’s essential to understand the process of adding an admin on a Facebook page. This is a crucial step that allows you to manage your page’s content, respond to comments, and share updates with your followers.
Why Do I Need to Add an Admin?
- As an admin, you can post updates, share behind-the-scenes content, and respond to comments.
- You can also manage your page’s settings, edit photos and videos, and set up Facebook Pages for Business.
- Adding an admin ensures that your page is managed responsibly and that you can keep your followers informed about your brand.
Step 1: Sign in to Your Facebook Account
To add an admin, you’ll need to sign in to your Facebook account. Log in to your Facebook page and click on the three horizontal lines (≡) in the top right corner.
Step 2: Click on "Page Settings"
From the dropdown menu, select "Page Settings."
Step 3: Click on "Page Permissions"
In the Page Settings page, click on "Page Permissions."
Step 4: Click on "Add Page Admin"
In the Page Permissions page, scroll down to the "Add Page Admin" section.
Step 5: Enter the Email Address
Enter the email address of the person you want to add as an admin.
Step 6: Verify the Email Address
Click on "Send Verification Email" to send a verification email to the admin’s email address.
Step 7: Click on "Verify Email"
Once the admin receives the verification email, click on "Verify Email" to confirm their email address.
Important Note: The email address you enter must be a valid Facebook email address. If you try to enter a non-existent or fake email address, Facebook will block the request and will notify you.
Step 8: Add Multiple Admins (Optional)
If you want to add multiple admins, repeat the process by clicking on "Add Page Admin" and entering the email address of the next admin.

After adding the admin, you’ll need to assign them permission to manage your page. This allows them to:
- Post updates and share behind-the-scenes content
- Edit photos and videos
- Set up Facebook Pages for Business
- Manage page settings
To assign permission, select the admin and click on the "Manage" button.
Which Permissions Does the Admin Need?
The admin needs to have the following permissions:

- Admin: allows them to manage the page and its settings
- Page Admin: allows them to oversee the page’s content and engage with followers
Troubleshooting Tips
- Make sure the admin’s email address is valid and has been verified.
- If the admin can’t receive the verification email, try re-sending the email or checking their spam folder.
- If the admin still can’t be assigned permissions, contact Facebook support for assistance.
