Add and Update Admin Roles for a Facebook Page
You don’t need to manage everything on your Facebook page. You can assign a community manager, create a new page role, and even change admin for your Facebook page. Let’s go through them to make relevant changes to your Facebook page.
Assign a Community Manager
As the name suggests, a community manager looks after the community. He/she can moderate chat comments and remove or suspend people for violating community rules.

2.Sign in with your Facebook account details.
3.Check your current Facebook pages from the left sidebar.

The community manager can delete comments and ban people from your live streams, and even see all admins for the Facebook page.
Assign a New Page Role on Facebook Desktop
Once you assign a community manager, the next step is to assign new page roles to relevant users. Follow the steps below to make changes.
1.Open Facebook and head to your Facebook Page settings (refer to the steps above).
2.SelectPage Rolesand scroll to theAssign a new Page rolemenu.
3.Type a name or your friend’s email and selectAdmin.
4.Before you hit theAddbutton, let’s understand different permissions for Facebook page roles.
Admin:Be careful when you assign an admin level permission to someone to run your Facebook page. The person can publish, edit, and manage all page aspects. He/she can post from Instagram to Facebook (if an Instagram account is connected to a page), create ads, check comments, and insights, and even assign other roles.
Editor:The person can publish content, send messages via Page Messenger, delete comments, create ads, post from Instagram to Facebook, and view page insights.
Moderator:A moderator has mostly identical permission as an editor except for publishing content. A Facebook page moderator can respond to and delete comments on the Page, create ads, see who created a post or comment, and view insights. The person can respond to Instagram comments and reply to direct messages if an Instagram account is connected to the Page.
Advertiser:An advertiser can create ads, see who created a post or comment, and view insights. If an Instagram account is connected to the Page, it can create ads.
Analyst:An analyst can see which admin created a post or comment and view insights.
When you invite another person to become an admin, Facebook will ask for authentication before sending an invitation.
