How to Add Someone to Facebook Business Manager

To add someone to Facebook Business Manager, navigate to your page settings, select Page Access under Page Setup, and click Add New to assign full control, partial control, community manager, or task access roles. You can grant permissions through either your Facebook page directly or via the Meta Business Suite, depending on the level of access needed for managing posts, ads, insights, and other administrative functions.

How Do I Add Another Manager to a Facebook Page?

Adding another manager to your Facebook page allows you to delegate administrative tasks while maintaining control over who can access your business assets. You can assign new page roles with either full control or partial control, depending on how much authority you want to grant. This process can be completed through your Facebook page settings or the Meta Business Suite.

Adding a Manager Via Your Facebook Page

From your Facebook account, click your profile picture in the top right corner and select See All Profiles. Choose the Facebook page you want to manage from the dropdown menu. Navigate to Settings & Privacy, then click Settings. Under Audience & Visibility, select Page Setup and then Page Access.

Next to People With Facebook Access, click Add New, then click Next. Enter the name or email address of the person you want to add and select them from the results. Choose either full control or partial control from the dropdown menu based on the permissions you want to grant. Scroll down and click Give Access. You may need to enter your Facebook password to confirm the change.

Adding a Manager Via Meta Business Suite

Alternatively, you can manage page access through the Meta Business Suite. Click Settings in the left menu, then select Pages under Accounts. Choose the page you want to modify and click Assign People. Scroll down and click Add Person, then enter the email address of the person you want to invite. Click Next, select the permissions you want to grant, click Next again, and then Send Invitation. The user must accept the invitation before gaining administrative access.

What Are the Different Permission Levels for Facebook Page Managers?

Facebook offers two main permission levels when adding managers: full control and partial control. Understanding these distinctions helps you assign appropriate access based on each team member’s responsibilities and your trust level with them.

Partial Control Permissions

Users with partial control can create, manage, or delete content including posts and Stories. They can access page monetization options, reply to messages, and respond to or delete comments. Additionally, they can add or remove linked accounts, create and manage ads, access page Insights, and remove or ban people from the page. This level is ideal for content creators, social media managers, and marketing team members who need operational access without full administrative authority.

Full Control Permissions

Users with full control have the same permissions as the page owner, including the ability to delete the entire page, assign new page roles to other users, and remove any user from the page—including the original admin. This level should only be granted to highly trusted individuals such as business partners or senior management. According to Meta’s official resources, maintaining proper access controls is essential for protecting your business assets from unauthorized changes.

How Do I Add a Community Manager to a Facebook Page?

Community managers serve as moderators for your page’s livestreams and community interactions. Unlike full administrators, they cannot switch into the page or manage it directly from Facebook, making this role perfect for moderators who need limited access focused on engagement and community safety.

To add a community manager, log into your Facebook account and click your profile picture. Select See All Profiles and choose your Facebook page. Navigate to Settings & Privacy, then Settings. Under Audience & Visibility, click Page Setup and then Page Access. Next to Community Managers, click Manage, then Next.

Enter the name or email address of the person you want to add and select them. Toggle the features you want to grant access to, then click Give Access. Enter your Facebook password and click Confirm. The user will receive an email invitation they must accept before gaining access.

Community Manager Capabilities

Community managers can delete or report comments, suspend users from live chat for 15 minutes, ban users from the current livestream or all future livestreams on the page, and pin comments to the top of live chat. These capabilities make community managers essential for maintaining a positive environment during live events and managing real-time audience interactions without granting full page access.

How Do I Give Someone Task Access on a Facebook Page?

Task access allows users to manage your page through business tools like Meta Business Suite, Creator Studio, Ads Manager, and Business Manager without being able to switch into the page or manage it directly from Facebook. This role is ideal for agencies, freelancers, or team members who need to perform specific marketing tasks.

To grant task access, click your profile picture and select See All Profiles. Choose your Facebook page, then navigate to Settings & Privacy and Settings. Under Audience & Visibility, select Page Setup and Page Access. Next to Task Access, click Add New, then Next. Enter the person’s name or email address and select them from the results.

Toggle the specific features you want to grant access to, then click Give Access. Enter your Facebook password and click Confirm. The user will receive an email invitation to accept before they can begin managing tasks.

What Can Users With Task Access Do?

Users with task access can create, manage, or delete content on the page, access monetization options, respond to direct messages, comment and manage comments, create and manage ads, and access Insights. This granular control allows you to delegate specific responsibilities while maintaining security over your page’s core settings.

How Do I Add Someone to My Facebook Business Manager Portfolio?

Adding someone to your Meta Business Suite business portfolio grants them access to multiple business assets from a centralized location. By default, new users receive basic access, but you can customize permissions based on their role and responsibilities within your organization.

Visit the Meta Business Suite settings page and click People under Users in the left-hand menu. Click Invite People in the top right corner, then enter the email address of the person you want to add. Click Next and adjust the access level—basic is default, but you can toggle Everything to ON if you want them to have the same permissions as you.

On the next page, select the business assets you want to give the user access to—you can select multiple assets. Review your selections and click Invite to complete the process. The user will receive an email invitation they must accept before accessing your business portfolio. For more information on managing these settings, explore our guide on Facebook Business Suite.

How Do I Remove an Admin Role from a Facebook Page?

Removing an admin role is necessary when team members leave your organization, change roles, or when you need to revoke access for security reasons. The process is straightforward and can be completed in just a few steps through your page settings.

Log into your Facebook account and click your profile picture. Select See All Profiles and choose your Facebook page. Navigate to Settings & Privacy, then Settings. Under Audience & Visibility, click Page Setup and Page Access. Click the three dots next to the user you want to remove, then select Remove Access. The user will receive an email notification informing them that their admin access has been revoked.

What Are Best Practices for Managing Facebook Page Access?

Effective access management requires a strategic approach that balances collaboration with security. Start by conducting regular audits of all users with page access—quarterly reviews help identify inactive accounts or team members who no longer require access. Document each user’s role and permission level in a spreadsheet to maintain clear records.

Assign the minimum necessary permissions for each role. Not every team member needs full control; task access or partial control often suffices for content creators and social media managers. Reserve full control for trusted partners and senior leadership only. When team members leave or change roles, immediately revoke their access to prevent unauthorized activity.

Use the Meta Business Suite for managing multiple pages and assets, as it provides centralized control and better visibility into who has access to what. Enable two-factor authentication on all admin accounts to add an extra layer of security. Finally, establish clear protocols for requesting and approving access changes, ensuring that all modifications are documented and authorized by appropriate stakeholders.

Conclusion

Managing Facebook Business Manager access effectively ensures your team can collaborate efficiently while maintaining security over your business assets. By understanding the different permission levels and following best practices for granting and revoking access, you can build a streamlined workflow that protects your page while empowering your team to succeed.
