How to Add Admins to a Facebook Group

Facebook groups can be a fun way to connect with others who have similar interests, work in the same industry, or even to trade memes. Because they are often small, newly created Facebook groups are easy to manage. Still, as they grow, you'll find you'll want to add admins and moderators to help manage group violations, arguments, bullying, and other issues. Members can report posts that they find unacceptable, and admins can remove members from the group as they see fit. Here's how to add admins to a Facebook Page.

How to Make Someone an Admin on a Facebook Page

An admin has the most power in a group. Among other responsibilities, they can add and remove admins and moderators and approve or deny membership requests.

Pages that are members of your group can't be admins.

Click Groups in the left menu. If you don't see Groups, click See More.
Select your group.
Click Members from the menu on the left.
Click the three-dot menu icon next to the person you want to make an admin.
Select Make admin.
Click Send Invite.
That person will receive a notification; you'll either get an alert when they respond or your admin list will update.
To cancel an invitation, go to Members > Invited Admins & Moderators, click the three-dot menu icon next to the name, and select Cancel Admin Invite.
To remove someone as an admin, select Remove as Admin from the three-dot menu next to their name.

How to Make Someone a Moderator on a Facebook Page

Moderators can do nearly everything an admin does; the main exception is that they can't make members admins or moderators.

Click Groups in the left menu. If you don't see Groups, click See More.
Select your group.
Click Members from the menu.
Click the three-dot menu icon next to the person you want to make a moderator.
Select Make Moderator.
Click Send Invite. That person will receive a notification; if they accept, the list of moderators will update on the group page.
To cancel an invitation, go to Members > Invited Admins & Moderators, click the three-dot menu icon next to the name, and select Cancel Moderator Invite.

To remove someone as a moderator, select Remove as Moderator from the three-dot menu next to their name.

Facebook Admin vs. Moderator

Groups can have multiple admins as well as moderators, who can do almost everything that admins can. By default, the creator of the group is an admin; they can step down only if they name someone in their place.

Only admins can:

Invite other members to be admins or moderators
Remove admins and moderators
Manage group settings, including changing the cover photo, renaming the group, and changing privacy settings.

Admins and moderators can:
