Facebook Page Admin Roles: How to Give Page Access (2026)

Running a busy Facebook Page alone is hard. Facebook lets you share the work by giving other people access with different permission levels. In 2012 Facebook introduced five Facebook Page admin roles: Manager, Content Creator, Moderator, Advertiser and Insights Analyst. Those roles have since been replaced. Here’s how Page access works in 2026 and how to build your social media team safely.

Quick answer: Switch into your Page, go to Settings & privacy > Settings > Page setup > Page access, click Add New under Facebook access or Task access, search for the person, choose partial or full control, and click Give access. They have 30 days to accept. Pages owned by a business portfolio are managed in Meta Business Suite instead.

Facebook Page access types in 2026

• Facebook access with full control: manages everything, including other people’s access. They can also remove you or delete the Page, so give it only to people you fully trust.
• Facebook access with partial control (the default): can switch into the Page and manage posts, messages, comments and ads, but can’t change access or critical settings.
• Task access: works through Meta Business Suite or Ads Manager without switching into the Page. Choose tasks such as content, messages and community activity, ads and insights.
• Community manager: moderates live video chats only.

How to add a Facebook Page admin

1. Click your profile picture, choose See all profiles and switch into the Page.
2. Go to Settings & privacy > Settings > Page setup > Page access.
3. Click Add New next to Facebook access (or Task access).
4. Search by name or email and select the person.
5. Turn on full control only if needed, then click Give access and confirm with your password.

On the Facebook app the steps are the same: switch to the Page, open the menu, then Settings & privacy > Settings > Page setup > Page access.

Pages in Meta Business Suite

If a business portfolio owns the Page, open Meta Business Suite > Settings > Accounts > Pages, select the Page and click Assign people (or Assign partner for an agency). Pick full or partial access and the tasks they need, then assign.

The original 2012 roles

In 2012 the Insights Analyst could only view insights, Advertisers could also create ads, Moderators could reply to messages and delete comments, Content Creators could post and edit the Page, and Managers controlled everything including roles. Today’s partial control and task access map closely to those old roles.

Tips for managing a Facebook Page team

• Give each person the minimum access they need; use task access for agencies and freelancers.
• Keep at least two trusted people with full control so you’re never locked out.
• Ask everyone with access to turn on two-factor authentication.
• Review Page access regularly and remove people who have left.
