Add and remove page admins from Facebook fans pages

Facebook fans pages are a good way for you to promote your company, product or services and to interact with your existing clients.

As this is linked to your personal account, and you created the page, you are automatically the page admin and can add/delete tabs, information about your company or product, posts and photographs etc to the page.

You can add additional page admins to help add information but be very careful when you choose who too make as the additional admin as there is a security flaw that Facebook have not yet addressed.

Even though you created your Facebook fans page any additional page admin that you have added can remove you as a page admin, even though you created it.

To add a page admin

Select your page from the left hand pane on your personal profile

Go to the Admin pane at the top right and select See all

To add an admin start typing a name and you will start to get your friends names.

Select who you are making admin then select Save changes.

You will have to put in your facebook password to authorize the change

Whoever you have made admin will receive notification on their Facebook account that you have made them admin for that page

To remove a page admin

Select your page from the left hand pane on your personal profile

Go to the Admin pane at the top right and select See all

Select Remove

Select Save changes

You will be prompted to input your Facebook password

Once you have done this the page admin is removed
