How to Manage Roles for a Facebook Page

Facebook pages are a great way to build your brand and engage with customers. As your page grows, you might need help from other people to maintain it. That’s what Facebook page roles are for, but you’ll need to know what each role does and how to manage them before enlisting help from others.

Thankfully, Facebook page roles are relatively simple to understand. They’re broken down into access levels called admin, editor, moderator, advertiser, and analysts. Admins have the most control while analysts have the least. Facebook also does a fantastic job of documenting what each role has access to do on your page.

Once you understand how roles work, the next step is assigning roles to those who will help maintain your page. In this article, we’ll focus on that topic and show you how to add, remove, and change roles for people managing your Facebook page.
