How to Remove Someone From a Facebook Page
Need to take away someone’s Page access? Here’s how to find them in Page access settings and remove them — plus what to check before you do.
Removing someone from a Facebook Page is fast and reversible-free: their access ends immediately, and you never have to change your password. The two things to get right are removing from the correct place (the Page, the Business Portfolio, or a partner) and making sure you’re not removing the last person with Full control, which would orphan the Page.
If your situation is actually …
- It’s an agency you’re offboarding → Remove an old agency’s access →
- Facebook won’t let you remove them → Can’t remove an admin →
Before you start
You have Full control of the Page
Only a Full control person can remove others. Task access cannot.
You are not removing the only Full control admin
If the person is the last Full control admin (or that person is you), add another Full control admin first, or you’ll lock the Page out of management.
Verify: Page → Settings → Page access — check how many people have Facebook access with Full control.
Remove someone’s Page access
Open Page access
Go to your Page’s settings and open Page access.
Where: Page → Settings → Page access
Find the person
Look through People with Facebook access and People with task access to find them. Someone may appear in more than one list.
Remove their access
Select the person and choose Remove. Confirm. Their access ends right away.
Confirm: The person no longer appears in the access lists.
If this fails: Can’t remove an admin
Check the Business Portfolio too
If the Page is in a Business Portfolio, also check Settings → People there — access granted through the portfolio is separate from access granted on the Page.
Where: Meta Business Suite → Settings → People
Common mistakes
Removing from the Page but not the portfolio
If the person also had access through a Business Portfolio or partner, removing them from the Page alone leaves a back door open.
Why it happens: Page-level and portfolio-level access look the same to the person but are managed in different places.
Already happened: Audit who has access to your Page
Removing the last admin by accident
Removing the only Full control person — including yourself — can orphan the Page and force a recovery process.
Already happened: You can’t remove the last admin
Frequently asked questions

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.
