How to Add Someone to a Facebook Page
Give someone access to your Facebook Page the safe way — through Page access, not your password. Choose Full control or Task access, send the invite, and confirm it landed.
On the New Pages experience, Page access comes in two flavours: Facebook access (Full control or Partial control) and Task access (specific jobs like content, messages, ads, or insights). You grant it from the Page itself, or from Business settings if the Page lives in a Business Portfolio. Pick the narrowest access that still lets the person do their work — most people need Task access, not Full control.
If your situation is actually …
- You want to hand the whole Page over for good → Transfer ownership of a Facebook Page →
- You are bringing on an agency, not an individual → Add an agency as a partner →
- You sent the invite but they cannot see the Page → Accepted invite but can’t see the Page →
Before you start
Two things to confirm before you open Page access:
You have Full control of the Page yourself
Only someone with Full control (Facebook access) can add or remove other people. Task access alone cannot grant access to anyone else.
Verify: Page → Settings → New Pages experience → Page access. If you can see an "Add New" button under People with Facebook access, your access is sufficient.
The person has their own Facebook profile
Page access attaches to a real personal Facebook profile. There is no separate "business login" — you are granting their personal profile the ability to act on the Page, never sharing your own.
You know whether the Page is in a Business Portfolio
If the Page is owned by a Business Portfolio (formerly Business Manager), you can also assign people from Business settings. For a standalone Page, you grant access directly on the Page.
Add someone from the Page’s own settings
This is the most direct route for a Page that is not managed inside a Business Portfolio.
Open the Page’s settings
Go to your Page, then open Settings. On the New Pages experience this is under your Page’s professional dashboard.
Where: Page → Settings → New Pages experience → Page access
Open Page access
Select "Page access". You’ll see two lists: People with Facebook access (Full or Partial control) and People with task access.
Where: Page → Settings → Page access
Confirm: You can see the current people and an "Add New" option for each access type.
Choose Facebook access or Task access
For someone who needs broad control, use "Add New" under Facebook access and decide Full or Partial control. For someone who only needs a specific job, use "Add New" under Task access.
Search for and select the person
Type the person’s name or the email tied to their Facebook profile, then select them. Facebook sends them a request to confirm.
Confirm: Their name appears in the list with a pending status until they accept.
Set the exact tasks (if Task access or Partial control)
Toggle on only the tasks they need: Content, Messages and community activity, Community activity, Ads, or Insights. Leave the rest off.
Confirm: The selected tasks are highlighted; everything else stays unselected.
Send and confirm the invite
Save the grant. The person receives a notification or email and must confirm before their access activates.
Confirm: The person shows as having access once they accept.
If this fails: Page invite not received
Record what you granted
Meta keeps no log of why access was given. Note the person, the access level, the date, and a review date somewhere durable.
Facebook Page access, at a glance
Full control can manage people and even delete the Page. Task access is scoped to specific jobs and cannot add or remove anyone. Start narrow.

Full control is the new equivalent of the old "Admin" role. Reserve it for people you trust to manage the Page completely, including removing you.
Common mistakes when adding someone
Giving Full control when Task access was enough
Full control can add and remove other people and delete the Page. A freelancer who only posts content does not need it.
Why it happens: Full control feels simpler than picking specific tasks, so people default to it.
Already happened: Give Task access on a Facebook Page
Sharing your password instead of granting access
Sharing your login hands over your entire personal account, breaks any record of who did what, and forces a full password reset to revoke.
Why it happens: Old habits and some legacy tools used to ask for a login.
Already happened: Stop sharing your Facebook password
Adding to the Business Portfolio and assuming they can see the Page
Membership in a portfolio grants nothing on its own — the Page asset must be assigned to the person separately.
Why it happens: The two steps look like one, so the second is often skipped.
Already happened: Assign assets after adding someone
Frequently asked questions
Delvia
Access issues are easier to prevent when roles, owners, and responsibilities are recorded clearly
Most access problems trace back to the same gap — no clear record of who has access, what role they hold, and what should happen when that changes. Delvia helps you keep that record so problems are visible before they become incidents.
