How to give or remove access to your Facebook Page

If someone needs to work on your Page, you can invite them with their own Facebook account and choose their access type. Before sending the invitation, check what each option allows. You can remove the permission later from the Page settings.

Compare Facebook access and task access

• Facebook access with full or partial control: lets someone switch into and manage the Page on Facebook. Only full control lets them manage other people’s access. Full control also lets the person remove anyone, including you, or delete the Page.
• Task access: lets someone manage the functions you select through tools such as Meta Business Suite or Ads Manager. It does not let them switch into or manage the Page on Facebook. It is not read-only: the person can carry out the tasks you assign.

Give full control only to someone you trust to manage both the Page and its permissions. If the Page belongs to a business portfolio, its access levels may differ; do not use these steps to change that portfolio’s roles.

Invite someone

You need Facebook access with full control to grant or remove these permissions. On Facebook for computers:

1. Select your profile photo, choose See all profiles, and switch to the correct Page.
2. Open Settings & privacy → Settings → Page setup → Page access.
3. Next to People with Facebook access, select Add New and then Next.
4. Enter the person’s name or email and select their account. Choose partial control or full control, then select Give Access.
5. Enter your own Facebook password and select Confirm. The person will receive an email and must accept the invitation.

To grant task access, open Settings & privacy → Settings. Under Audience and visibility, select Page setup → Page access. Next to People with task access, select Add New → Next, find the person, choose their account, and turn on the functions they need. Select Give Access and confirm with your password. They also need to accept the invitation by email.

Do not share your password with the invitee: the confirmation step asks for the password of the person managing the Page. The invitation is not complete until the other person accepts it.

Remove access and check the status

1. Switch to the Page and open Settings & privacy → Settings → Page setup → Page access.
2. Next to the person, select Options → Remove access.
3. Check the access list. Meta says the person will receive an email when their permission is removed.

If you are removing another admin, Facebook may ask them to approve the request. If they do not act within 30 days, the request may be approved automatically; do not assume removal is immediate. If you cannot find the person or the options, check that you switched into the Page and have full control. For a business portfolio, use its own settings and documentation.

See Facebook’s official help for Page access and the guide to social media team roles and permissions for general delegation principles.

If you still have full Page access but an old business account remains the owner, see how to request release of your Facebook Page ownership. The request depends on its requirements and the business admin’s decision.

If you already have access and Facebook shows a violation or limitation, see how to check Page Status and its available options.

If you recently lost access because someone took over the Page through hacking or a scam, see how to request recovery from Meta.

If you invited someone to your business portfolio and they don’t receive the invitation or can’t accept it, see what to check when the invitation doesn’t arrive.
