How to Add Admins to Groups and Business Profiles on LinkedIn and Facebook

As your small business grows and you begin to outsource parts of your operations, you may want to consider hiring a virtual assistant (VA) to help you with the pace of your social media activity. At that point, instead of handing out your personal passwords in any way, you can grant and remove administrative access to your business accounts on Facebook and LinkedIn to your assistant at any time.

While this is a very quick and easy process once you know how to do it, the links to do it aren’t always in the most logical places. Therefore, this article will help you to add another admin to your Facebook page; your Facebook group; your LinkedIn group; and his company profile on LinkedIn.

However, before you begin, in order to do any of these, you must be an admin of the page or group in question. If you were the one who created the page or group, you will be an administrator by default; If you didn’t, you’ll need to add the page or group as an admin by someone who is.

If you don’t see this box, you’re not an admin and therefore won’t be able to follow the remaining instructions). .) Click “See All” to the right of where it says “Administrators.”
3. This will take you to a new page where you’ll see a list of your current Facebook Page admins, with a blank space for you to add a new one. If you’re a Facebook friend of the admin, you can simply type their name in the box. If you are not friends with them, you must enter the email address they used to create their Facebook account. People tend to have more than one email address now, so it’s important to check with them!
