How to Effectively Add a Community Manager to Your Facebook Page
This tutorial provides a detailed step-by-step guide on how to add a Community Manager to your Facebook page. Adding a Community Manager is essential for brands seeking to maintain a vibrant online community, particularly in pages with a high volume of interactions. You will learn how to execute this through your Facebook settings and understand the implications of granting this role.
Step 1: Access Your Facebook Page
Begin by logging into your Facebook account. Navigate to the page you wish to manage by clicking on ‘Pages’ in the left sidebar or directly accessing the page from your bookmarks.
Step 2: Go to Page Settings
Once on your Facebook page, look for the ‘Settings’ option in the bottom left corner of the screen. Click on it to open the settings menu where you can adjust various configurations for your page.
Step 3: Select Page Roles
In the settings menu, find and click on ‘Page Roles’ located in the left sidebar. This section allows you to manage roles assigned to individuals who can assist in managing your Facebook page.
Step 4: Assign a New Community Manager
In the Page Roles section, you will see an option to ‘Assign a New Page Role’. In the text box provided, enter the email address associated with the Facebook account of the person you wish to make a Community Manager. Under the role selection dropdown, choose the ‘Community Manager’ option. After verifying that you entered the correct email and role, click the button labeled ‘Add’.
Step 5: Confirm Changes
The individual you just added will receive a notification requesting their acceptance of the role. Once they accept, they will have the ability to moderate posts, respond to comments, and manage interactions on the page, while not having access to critical settings or administrative tasks.
Step 6: Review and Adjust Roles as Necessary
Periodically revisit the Page Roles section to ensure that all assigned roles are up-to-date and reflect current team structure and responsibilities. You can change roles or remove access as needed by clicking on ‘Edit’ next to the person’s name.
Extra Tips & Common Issues
To make the process smoother:
- Ensure that the person being added has an active Facebook account.
- Double-check the email address entered while adding a manager to avoid mistakes.
- If you face issues, refresh the settings page or log out and log back in to reset session data.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you can successfully add a Community Manager to your Facebook page, ensuring that interactions are managed effectively and your brand remains engaged with its audience. This role is crucial for maintaining a positive community experience, particularly for high-traffic pages.
