Classic vs New Pages Experience
The New Pages Experience dropped the old Admin/Editor roles for Full control and Task access. Here is what changed, and why your roles screen may look different.
If your Page used to show roles like Admin, Editor, and Moderator and now talks about "Full control" and "Task access", you have moved to the New Pages Experience. Meta replaced the old fixed roles with a two-part model: Full control for people who run the Page, and granular Task access for everyone who only handles a specific job. The classic roles are legacy; the New Pages Experience is where Meta is taking everyone.
The classic model
Classic Pages used named roles: Admin, Editor, Moderator, Advertiser, and Analyst, each a fixed bundle of permissions. An Admin could do everything; an Editor could post but not manage people; a Moderator handled messages and comments; an Advertiser ran ads; an Analyst only saw insights.
It was simple but blunt. If someone needed slightly more than Moderator, you often had to make them an Editor and over-grant. And the roles lived on the Page itself, separate from the business-portfolio world where ad accounts and ownership sit.
The New Pages Experience
The New Pages Experience splits access into two clear ideas. Full control is for people who genuinely run the Page — they can manage everything, including adding and removing other people. Task access is everything else, broken into specific permissions: Content, Messages and community activity, Community activity, Ads, and Insights. You grant only the tasks a person needs.
This is more granular and safer. A freelance ad buyer can get Ads task access and nothing else; a community manager can get Messages without touching settings. And it lines up better with the portfolio model, where access and ownership are deliberately kept separate.
The New Pages Experience access types
Full control plus task-based access. The classic Admin/Editor/Moderator/Advertiser/Analyst roles map onto these.

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.
