When you need to assign a colleague tasks on your company’s Facebook page, or if you hire a social media agency or consultant to work on your Facebook page, it’s usually necessary for them to be granted admin rights. You can easily add your Facebook friends as an admin of your fan page, but if you’re not Facebook friends, you can add people via their email address. This will work for both fans and non-fans of your page.
Note: They must have this email address registered (associated) with their Facebook profile. Sometimes individuals use their personal accounts to log into Facebook, and not everyone hooks up their work email address to their Facebook account, so verify with them which email address they want you to use.
1. Go to your Admin Panel
Click the Admin Panel link at the top of your Facebook page.
2. Edit your Facebook page
Click the Manage button, then select Edit Page.
3. Manage admins
Click Manage Admins in the sidebar navigation.
4. Add an admin
Enter an email address in the text field, and then click Save.
OR, if you are Facebook friends with the individual you’d like to add as an admin, enter their name and select their Facebook profile in the dropdown menu that appears. Then click Save.
That’s it! Now your colleague/consultant/spouse/friend is an admin of your Facebook fan page.

Hi, Diana:
Does this give them total control of your page, then? What if you want to add someone simply to post updates on your behalf, but not have full privileges. Is there a tool or app for this?
Let me know.
Cheers,
Missy
Thanks for information
Hi Diana,
Can you help me?
I cannot get my picture to show up in my admin page, or when I post a comment in someone elses Facebook page.
I would have given you a screenshot, however, I did not know if it would show up in this box. Very frustrating and embarrasing.
Thank you for your help,
Steve
Hi Steve, I’m not really sure what you mean. You can’t upload a picture to your personal Facebook profile?
This was a really informative article, thank you!
I’ve been having major issues with creating our company fb page, while my personal page was so simple. Our website, again, simple, we have control over the admin interface and can keep pages that we are working on unpublished–crucial of course.
Privacy issues: my company page was live, even though I didn’t publish it, but I couldn’t unpublish it, because the settings were under my personal account. So I just deleted the company page rather than have my new, very unfinished page visable to clients.
I’ll start again, but feel that fb is so glitchy and leaky and trouble shooting the issues is extremely time consuming, I’d rather work on our site, messaging, email campaigns and Linkedin.
Is is just me, or do many people find fb difficult to use?

Hi Diana,
I cannot add people as admins, only existing pages. when go to list of people who have liked my page the option to add as admin does come up but when clicked on, it takes me to me manage admins page but the person doesnt come up there.
any idea what could be wrong?

I have a question. What if the page is still unpublished? I wanted to have the admins be able to access it to aide in working on it before I publish the page itself but they can’t seem to access it although they have all been set up as Admins. Does the page need to be published before they are allowed access to it? Thanks so much! Hopefully you know the answer!

Hey,
I have a major issue. Recently by mistake I removed an admin on my page. Now I want to make that person an admin again. But when I type in her name her profile doesn’t show up and Facebook doesn’t add them. Why?
Thank you. Please reply soon.
Ciao
