10 Steps: How to Remove an Admin From a Facebook Page

Remove an Admin From a Facebook Page

Are you experiencing a change in team structure and need to remove an admin from your Facebook Page? Whether it’s due to a departure, role adjustment, or any other reason, understanding the proper steps to remove an admin is essential. In this comprehensive guide, we will provide detailed instructions to help you navigate this process effectively, ensuring a smooth transition of administrative responsibilities.

To start, it’s crucial to confirm the current administrative structure of your Page. Navigate to your Page’s settings, select the “Page Roles” tab, and review the list of admins. If you’re unable to locate the individual you need to remove, it’s possible they may have already been removed or their role has been downgraded. In this case, you can proceed to the next step of adding a new admin to replace the vacated position.

Once you’ve identified the admin you need to remove, click on their name within the “Page Roles” section. On the following screen, you’ll see a button labeled “Remove Admin.” Click on this button and confirm your action by clicking “OK” in the pop-up window. This will immediately remove the selected individual from their admin role on your Page. It’s important to note that only admins with the “Manage Roles” permission can perform this action.

Identifying Page Admins

Identifying current page admins is crucial before you can remove them. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Accessing the Page Settings

    Log into your Facebook account and navigate to the page you want to manage. Click on the “Settings” tab at the top of the page.

  2. Selecting the “People and Other Pages” Section

    In the left-hand sidebar of the Settings menu, look for the “People and Other Pages” section. Here, you’ll find a list of everyone who has access to your page, including admins.

  3. Reviewing the Admin Roles

    Click on the “Admins” tab within the “People and Other Pages” section. This will display a table of all current page admins, along with their specific roles (e.g., Editor, Content Creator).

Additional Tips:

  • Check the “Inactive Admins” section to identify any former admins who still have access to the page.
  • You can use the search bar to locate a specific admin if you know their name or email address.
  • If you don’t recognize an admin on the list, it’s recommended to remove them for security reasons.

Contacting Facebook Support

If you have tried all the above methods and still cannot remove an admin from your Facebook Page, you can contact Facebook Support for assistance. Here’s how:

  1. Go to the Facebook Help Center: Visit the Facebook Help Center at https://www.facebook.com/help/.
  2. Search for "Remove an Admin": In the search bar, type "Remove an Admin" and click on the first result.
  3. Click on "Contact Us": Scroll down the page and click on the "Contact Us" button.
  4. Select the Issue Type: Choose "Managing Your Page" from the drop-down menu and select "Removing an Admin" as the issue type.
  5. Fill Out the Form: Provide your Facebook Page name, the name of the admin you want to remove, and a brief explanation of the situation.
  6. Attach Supporting Documents: If you have any supporting documents, such as screenshots or emails, you can attach them by clicking on the "Attach Files" button.
  7. Submit Your Request: Once you have completed the form, click on the "Submit" button to send your request to Facebook Support.
