Running a Facebook Page with multiple admins can get confusing — especially if you ever need to transfer ownership. Whether you’re selling a business, hiring a social media manager, or simply handing the reins to someone else, the process must be done correctly. In my latest video, I walk through exactly how to transfer Facebook Page ownership step by step.
Transferring ownership isn’t complicated, but it’s important to follow the right sequence to avoid losing access.
Here’s the process I recommend:
-
Log Into Facebook: Make sure you’re signed in as an admin on the page you want to transfer.
-
Open Page Settings: Go to the left-hand menu and click Settings → New Pages Experience → Page Access.
-
Add a New Admin: Under “People with Facebook Access,” click “Add New.” Enter the new owner’s name or email address.
-
Assign Full Control: Toggle on “Full Control” before confirming. The person will receive an invitation to accept ownership.
-
Have Them Accept the Invite: The new owner must log in and accept the invitation to finalize access.
-
Remove Yourself (Optional): Once they’ve accepted, you can remove yourself or downgrade your role if needed.
The transition happens instantly, and both parties retain admin access during the switch.
A few tips I’ve learned:
-
Always double-check you’re transferring ownership to the right profile.
-
Avoid doing this from mobile apps — desktop is more reliable.
-
Use Meta Business Suite if you manage multiple pages for better visibility and access control.
If you’re working with a client or team, it’s also smart to use Partner Access rather than personal admin roles. That way, you can grant or revoke permissions safely without giving full control of your account.
In 2025, Facebook’s backend continues to evolve, but the ownership transfer process remains quick and secure — as long as you follow the correct path. Doing it properly protects both you and your page, ensuring smooth management even as roles change.
