Running a Facebook Group can be rewarding, but as your community grows, managing it solo becomes tough. That’s where moderators and admins come in. Adding trusted people to help you manage posts, members, and rules keeps your group active and healthy.

Here’s how to add moderators or admins in under a minute:

1. Open Your Facebook Group
Go to your Groups tab and select the group you manage.

2. Go to “Members”
Click the Members tab under your group’s cover photo. This shows all current members.

3. Find the Member You Want to Promote
Scroll or use the search bar to locate the person.

4. Click the Three Dots Next to Their Name
You’ll see options like Make Admin or Make Moderator.

5. Confirm Your Selection
Click the appropriate option and confirm. The person will be notified immediately.

Admin vs. Moderator — Know the Difference:

  • Admins can manage settings, approve members, and delete posts or the entire group.

  • Moderators can remove posts and manage membership requests but can’t change group settings.

Pro Tips:

  • Choose moderators you trust and who understand your community’s tone and purpose.

  • Create a short internal guide outlining your group’s rules and moderation style.

  • Review your admin/moderator list periodically to keep it current.

Delegating moderation duties keeps your Facebook Group running smoothly — and frees you to focus on content, engagement, and growth.
