Thursday Tutorial: Facebook Tutorial Update: How to Add Admins

When we originally wrote the tutorial in March, we wrote it for the way pages had been designed back then.  Many pages, however, have been switched over to the new page design, which also means a new administrative backend which means the tutorial needs to be updated.  Instead of updating that tutorial, we're going to insert a blurb at the top directing to this page and leave the old tutorial there for those pages that haven't been converted yet.

For everyone who has been switched over to the new page layout, go to the page you want to add admins to.  Your layout should look like this:

Click on the "Settings" Tab.  That should open a page that looks like this:

From the menu on the left, select Page Roles.  That will open the following page:

From here, you type in the name or email of the person you want to add, then from the drop down menu beneath their name, select their role. Once done, click save.  You will be asked to type in your password to confirm changes.  You can also use this same menu to remove admins or change their roles.

You can rinse and repeat to add a number of admin - I am unsure if there is a cap on the number of admins a page can have or not as I have never reached a cap.

Hope this helps!
