How to Delegate Super Admin Roles on Facebook

A guide by Creative Studio 15

Introduction

In today’s high‑velocity digital world, it’s essential to empower team members with the right access in Facebook’s management tools. Facebook's Meta Business Suite and Business Manager allow you to assign roles—from basic Page roles to super‑powerful Business Admins. This post will help you create users, assign Page/admin roles, and elevate someone to Super Admin (Business Admin) responsibly and efficiently.

1.Creating a User in Meta Business Suite 🎯

Before assigning roles, ensure the person has been added to your Meta Business account. Here’s how to onboard a new user:

Steps:

1. Open Meta Business Suite and go to Business Settings.

2. Under Users, click People, then Add or Invite People

3. Enter their email address (must be tied to their personal Facebook) 

4. Select access level: Employee (partial) or Admin (full). Use Admin if you intend to grant top-level rights.

5. Click Next, choose assets (Pages, Ad Accounts), assign roles, and click Invite 

6. The user receives an email and must accept it to complete onboarding.

2. Assigning Admin Roles on a Facebook Page

Once onboarded, assign Page-level roles (Admin, Editor, Moderator, etc.) to control their permissions on specific Pages.

Steps (Desktop):

1. Go to the Page and open Settings → Page Setup or Professional Dashboard → Page Access 

2. Under People with Facebook access, click Add New.

3. Search by name or email, select correct profile.

4. Toggle Allow this person to have Full Control to assign Admin status.

5. Click Give Access, re-enter your password, and confirm

6. The person must accept the invite to start managing the Page.

Steps (Mobile):

1. Open the Facebook app and switch to the Page (via flag icon or Pages menu) 

2. Tap Settings (gear icon) → Page Access or Page Setup.

3. Tap Add New, type the person’s name or email, select them.

4. Enable Full Control, tap Give Access, confirm via password 

5. Invitee must accept to begin.

3. Becoming a Super Admin (Business Admin)

Intro:
A Super Admin, or Business Admin, has full control over all business assets—Pages, accounts, payment methods, and users. This role should be assigned sparingly.

Steps:

1. In Business Settings, go to People under Users 

2. Click the user you want to upgrade, or invite a new one.

3. Select Admin Access role to make them Business Admin.

4. On the next screen, assign which assets they manage—Pages, Ad Accounts, Pixels, etc.—and choose Manage toggles

5. Click Invite or Save, depending on context. They’ll receive an invite email and must accept to finalize their role.

4. Managing Roles & Best Practices

Intro:
Maintaining a tidy access structure is vital for security and accountability. Follow best practices to stay in control.

Tips:

• Audit regularly: Review active roles in Business Settings → People and Page Settings → Page Access.

• Least privilege principle: Only give Admin rights when necessary; use Editor or Moderator for everyday tasks.

• Super Admin security: Limit to a few trusted individuals; only they can remove others at that level.

• Monitor pending invites: If a person never accepted, resend via Business Settings or Page Access sections
