Managing access to your Facebook Page can be frustrating, especially when trying to upgrade an existing user’s role. Facebook doesn’t make this process straightforward, but with the right steps, you can get it done efficiently. Follow this guide to update someone’s access to your Facebook Page without unnecessary confusion.
Step 1: Log into Facebook and Switch to Your Page
Before making any changes, ensure that you are logged into Facebook and switched to the Facebook Page you want to manage. You must be set as an admin to make changes to page access roles.
Step 2: Navigate to Page Access Settings
- Click on Settings in the left-hand menu.
- Select Page Setup then Page Access from the available options.
- You’ll now see a list of users who currently have access to your Page.
Step 3: Remove Existing Access
If the person already has access but needs an upgrade, Facebook won’t allow you to simply change their role. Instead, you’ll need to remove their access first.
- Find the person whose role you want to change.
- Click on the three horizontal dots next to their name.
- Select Remove Access.
- Facebook will prompt you to enter your account password.
- After submitting your password, check your email for a security code and enter it as instructed.
Step 4: Re-Add the Person with the Correct Role
- Now, go back to Page Access and click Add New.
- Search for the person you want to grant access to.
- Choose their access level—if you want them to have full control, select that option at the bottom.
- Confirm your selection, and their new role will be assigned.
Final Thoughts
While Facebook doesn’t offer a direct way to upgrade an existing user’s role, following this workaround ensures you can successfully manage access to your Page. By removing and re-adding the person with the desired role, you can ensure they have the appropriate permissions to manage your Page effectively.
Now that you know the steps, updating Facebook Page access should be a breeze!
