How to Add an Admin to Your Facebook Group

Facebook group is a unique feature. You can create, public or private groups for different things. For example groups for business, personal use, websites, and more. Thus Facebook allows admins to add, delete, and change the role of its members as admin, moderators, etc, in groups. Such features are great, time-saving, and help you manage a group more efficiently.

You can use both the Facebook web client and the Facebook app to make someone an admin. However, there are a few things you need to know before doing so. Keep in mind that only an existing admin of the group can make someone an admin. Also, note that the person can remove you from that group if he/she wants to.

Moreover, you can make someone an admin of a group on Facebook, only the person is already a member. You need to invite that user first, then make him or her an admin for that group. However, it’s easy to make someone a page admin on Facebook.

Facebook group members must visit and join that specific group to be made an admin. Once the person becomes an admin, he can remove members or admins, add new admins, moderators, editors, etc, and edit the group description as well as its settings. In short, an admin can do whatever he wants for that group on Facebook.
