What happened to Admin, Editor, and Moderator roles?
Admin, Editor, Moderator, Advertiser, and Analyst are gone. Here is how each one maps to Full control or Task access in the New Pages Experience.
The classic Page roles still live in everyone's muscle memory, so it helps to see exactly where each one lands in the New Pages Experience. The short version: Admin becomes Full control, and the four narrower roles each become a slice of Task access. Nothing disappeared in capability — it was just re-cut into more precise pieces.

How each classic role maps
Find the old role you remember and read across to its New Pages Experience equivalent.
| What you’re seeing | Likely cause | What it usually means |
|---|---|---|
| Admin | Full control | Manages everything, including adding and removing people. The only level that can delegate access. |
| Editor | Task access — Content (plus Messages/Community as needed) | Creates, edits, and publishes posts; can be given message and community tasks too. Cannot manage people. |
| Moderator | Task access — Messages and community activity | Handles the inbox, comments, and mentions; no settings or people management. |
| Advertiser | Task access — Ads | Runs ads and boosted posts from the Page. Note that full ad-account control is a separate matter. |
| Analyst | Task access — Insights | Read-only view of Page performance. Cannot post, reply, or change anything. |
Task access can be combined — someone can hold Content and Messages at once — so you can recreate any classic role precisely, and trim it where the old role over-granted.

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.
