How to Change Someone's Access on a Facebook Page
Move someone between Full control and Task access, or adjust their tasks. Here’s how to edit a person’s Page permissions without removing and re-adding them.
You don’t have to remove and re-invite someone to change what they can do. From Page access you can promote a person to Full control, drop them to specific tasks, or toggle individual tasks on and off. Changes take effect immediately. The only move that needs care is taking Full control away from yourself or the last admin.
If your situation is actually …
- You want to remove them entirely → Remove someone from a Page →
- You’re deciding which level is right → Full control vs Task access →
Before you start
You have Full control of the Page
Only Full control can change other people’s access.
Promoting to Full control? Confirm you trust them at that level
Full control can remove people and delete the Page. Make sure the upgrade is intended.
Change a person’s access
Open Page access
Go to your Page’s settings and open Page access.
Where: Page → Settings → Page access
Select the person
Click the person whose access you want to change. You’ll see their current access level and tasks.
Adjust their access
Turn Full control on or off, or toggle individual tasks (Content, Messages, Community, Ads, Insights). To move someone from task access up to Full control you may re-add them under Facebook access.
Confirm: The new access level and tasks are reflected against the person.
If this fails: You don’t have permission to do this
Save and note the change
Save. Record what changed and why, so future audits make sense.
Common mistakes
Downgrading yourself out of Full control
If you remove your own Full control and no one else has it, you lose the ability to manage the Page.
Already happened: You can’t remove the last admin
Promoting to Full control when extra tasks would do
If someone just needs to also run ads, add the Ads task rather than handing them Full control.
Why it happens: Full control feels like a tidy upgrade, but it grants people-management power too.

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.
