There are 5 different Facebook Roles you can assign that allow them to conduct different takes on your behalf.
How do I give someone a role on my Page?
You’ll need to be an admin to give someone a role on your Page. If you’re an admin:
- Click Settings at the top of your Page.
- Click Page Roles in the left column.
- If the person is your Facebook friend, begin typing their name and select them from the list that appears. Depending on their settings, the person may receive a notification or an email when you give them a role. The next time they log into Facebook there will be a notification letting them know they are now have Admin rights
- If the person isn’t your Facebook friend, type their email address, and it will send them an email.

Does my Social Media Manager need a Facebook Account?
In order to be your Facebook Admin they need to have their own Facebook page.
Facebook is still the #1 Social Media Network for B2C and B2B Social Media Activity. If your Social Media Manager doesn’t have a Facebook Page – Red Flag!
