How Facebook handles this

• A person with full access to a Page that's in a business portfolio can remove other people's access to that Page.
• When someone's access to a Page is removed, they can no longer access the Page.
• They can no longer access the Page's insights.
• Removing someone's access to a Page does not remove them from the business portfolio they belong to.

Common mistakes

• Expecting removal to drop the portfolio too Removing someone's access to a Page does not remove them from the business portfolio.Why it happens: You may assume Page access and Page access to the business portfolio are the same thing.
• Leaving inactive people in the portfolio Inactive people who no longer need access to any business assets should be removed from the business portfolio for security reasons.Why it happens: You remove someone from a Page and move on without checking the wider business portfolio.Already happened: If someone retained access you did not expect, audit who has access to the Page and portfolio.
• Not having full control of the Page A person must have full control to remove someone else's access to a Page.Why it happens: You try to remove someone while only having partial access to the Page.
