Adding Admins to Facebook Page: A Step-by-Step Guide for 2026
Effective Fanpage management does not just stop at posting or running ads; it also lies in how you assign permissions to the right people with the right roles. In this article, BlackHatWorld will guide you through the steps to add administrators to a Fanpage in an easy-to-understand manner, updated for 2026, helping businesses, marketing teams, and advertisers work securely and clearly while avoiding unnecessary risks when operating a Fanpage.
The benefits of adding Admins to a Facebook Fanpage
Adding administrators to a Facebook Fanpage is not merely about sharing access; it is a crucial step that helps us and you, operate the Page effectively, securely, and with long-term scalability. Below are the key benefits that advertisers and businesses should understand before deciding to add Admins to their Facebook page.
Reducing the risk of depending on a single individual
One of the most common mistakes we often see is a Fanpage having only one Admin. This is extremely risky. For example, if that person loses their personal account, gets hacked, or accidentally violates Facebook policies, leading to a lockout, the entire Fanpage could fall into an “unmanaged” state.
When you add at least one backup Admin, your Fanpage remains controlled and can be handled promptly in any situation. For businesses running ads, this is almost mandatory to avoid interrupting marketing activities.
Clear permission assignment and workflow optimization
Not everyone involved in Fanpage management needs full Admin access. However, having multiple Admins allows us to easily delegate responsibilities at the highest level, especially in critical situations such as changing permissions, restoring the Page, or handling ad issues.
For example, one Admin can be responsible for content strategy, while the other Admin manages advertising and connects with Meta Support. This makes the operating process clearer, reduces confusion, and limits errors due to incorrect actions.
Easier collaboration when working with agencies or ads partners
When you hire an agency or external partner to run ads, Facebook usually requires them to have certain administrative rights on the Fanpage. In many cases, without the appropriate Admin, connecting the ad account, Pixel, or Business Manager will face many difficulties.
We often advise advertisers to add temporary Admins for the agency during the implementation phase, then adjust the permissions once the project ends. This approach ensures work efficiency while controlling risks.
Easily handle Fanpage issues or appeals.
When a Fanpage faces feature restrictions, reports, or advertising-related issues, Facebook usually only works with the highest-level admin. If that admin is not online, fails to respond promptly, or does not clearly understand the issue, the handling process can be significantly prolonged.
Having multiple admins allows us to be more proactive in contacting Meta support, submitting appeals, and providing verification documents when necessary. This is especially important for business Fanpages or pages running large-budget ads.
Increase the trustworthiness and sustainability of your Fanpage
A Fanpage managed by multiple reputable admins with long-term stable activity will have a higher trust score in the eyes of Facebook. This indirectly supports advertising, content review, and advanced features such as blue tick verification, unlocking priority support, or increasing spending limits. We have seen many cases where Fanpages with clear management history and multiple valid admins experience fewer checkpoints compared to pages with only one manager.
Adding Admins to Facebook Page: A Step-by-Step Guide for 2026
Adding admin to a Facebook Fanpage not only helps us and you share the Page management workload but also ensures the Fanpage is always operated continuously, safely, and effectively. In the context of 2026, Facebook has fully transitioned to the New Pages Experience, so the permission assignment method has some differences compared to before. Below is a detailed step-by-step guide for both computers and mobile devices, so that advertisers and businesses can execute it correctly the first time.
Adding Facebook Fanpage Admin on a Computer
Step 1: Log in to your Facebook account
First, you need to log in to the personal Facebook account that owns or has the highest authority over the Page. This is a mandatory requirement, as only those with full administrative rights can add a new Admin.
After logging in, click on the profile picture in the upper right corner, then switch profiles to the business Page you wish to manage. Once the Page opens, you will see the Page management area in the left column of the screen.
For example, if we are managing a sales Fanpage or an advertising Fanpage, this profile switching step ensures that all subsequent actions are correctly applied to the Page, not mistakenly to the personal profile.
Step 2: Access Page settings
In the Page management interface, click on the Settings section in the top left corner. Here, Facebook will display various options related to the Page, including the Page setup section.
This is where all permissions, roles, and access rights for the Fanpage are centralized, so please ensure you are operating on the correct Page before proceeding.
Step 3: Open Page Access options
Next, we select the Page access item and click View. Here, Facebook allows you to assign permissions to others with various levels of access, depending on the roles they assume. Currently, Facebook divides access into three main groups:
- Full control: Persons granted this permission can add or remove others, manage ads, messages, content, community, permissions, and settings. In other words, they have nearly complete control over the Page, including deleting the Page.
- Partial access: Suitable for marketing personnel or media buyers. They can manage ads, content, messages, and view community activity, but cannot add or remove others and cannot edit permissions or settings.
- Task access: Commonly used for agencies or technical partners. They only handle specific tasks through tools like Meta Business Suite and do not directly access the Page or the Page’s News Feed.
Step 4: Select the appropriate access levelBước 4: Chọn mức truy cập phù hợp
Based on actual needs, clearly define the role of the person to be added. For example, if it is a business co-founder, we usually grant Full control. If it is an advertising employee, Partial access is a safer choice. The steps are as follows:
- Click Add new
- Enter the name or email of the Facebook profile to be added
- Select the appropriate access level (Full, Partial, or Task)
- Click Give access.
Step 5: Confirm with the password
Facebook will require you to re-enter your account password for verification. This is a mandatory security step. After confirmation, the invitation will be sent, and once the invitee accepts, they will officially have administrative rights according to the level you selected.
How to add Facebook Fanpage Admin via phone
We are not always at a computer, so Facebook also allows adding Admins directly on the mobile app.
Step 1: Open the Facebook menu
On the Facebook app:
- For Android, tap the three-line icon in the top right corner.
- For iOS, this icon is located in the bottom right corner.
Step 2: Select the Fanpage to manage
From the menu, select the Fanpage where you want to add an administrator. Facebook will display a popup requesting to switch to the Page; press Switch to continue.
Step 3: Access Page settings
Next, go to Settings & privacy, select Settings, then open Page settings. This is the mobile version of the desktop settings.
Step 4: Update Page access.
In the Page access section, select the desired access level:
- Full control
- Partial access
- Task access
Then, add the Facebook profile of the person to be authorized and select the corresponding access level.
Step 5: Verify password
Similar to the computer version, Facebook will require you to enter your password to confirm the changes. Once completed, the invitation will be sent and will only take effect when the invitee accepts.
Adding Admin to a Facebook Page not only helps you share the workload but also ensures the Fanpage operates stably, safely, and more effectively in 2026. By assigning permissions to the right person and role, you will save management time while minimizing the risk of losing control of the Page. Always review access rights periodically to ensure your Fanpage is always in the most optimal state.
