Sometimes it may be necessary to add an Administrator or, at least, a manager to a Facebook Page There are a number of YouTube videos explaining how to do this simple task.
When adding an administrator to a Facebook Page, your profile will appear at the top of the “Existing Page Roles” list within the Page Settings because you are the creator and currently hold the highest level of access, which is the admin role. While some YouTube tutorials might show administrators listed at the bottom,this is likely because they are demonstrating how to add new administrators, not how to view the existing roles. The order of the list is based on role hierarchy, with the creator or highest-level admin always listed first.
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
- Page Roles Hierarchy: Facebook Pages have a specific hierarchy for roles, with the creator of the page automatically holding the highest level of access, which is the admin role.
- Admin Role: The admin role has full control over the page, including the ability to manage other administrators, edit page settings, and publish content.
- Listing Order: When you view the “Existing Page Roles” section, your profile as the creator and current admin will be listed at the top because you have the highest level of access.
- YouTube Tutorials: Some YouTube tutorials may focus on adding new admins, and when doing so, the new admin will be added to the list below the existing admins.
- Checking Your Role: If you want to check your own role or the roles of others, you can go to your Page settings, then “Page Roles”.
