Facebook Page Manager Access SOP
Standard Operating Procedure

How to Give Manager Access to a Facebook Page

Use this SOP to guide a client through giving your team full Facebook Page access. This version also explains what to do when your name or email does not appear in search.

Purpose

This process allows a client to grant Full Control access to their Facebook Page so your team can help manage posting, scheduling, and page activity.

Before You Start

  • The client must be logged into the correct Facebook account.
  • The client must already have admin-level access to the Facebook Page.
  • You should provide the exact Facebook profile name to search for.
  • If needed, also provide your profile link.
Important: Facebook sometimes will not show a person by name or email. If that happens, use the troubleshooting section below before assuming something is broken.

Quick Navigation Path

This is the main path the client should follow inside Facebook.

Facebook Page → Settings → Page Access → Add New → Full Control

Best Practice

Ask the client to add you as a Facebook friend first if they cannot find your profile during the search step. This often resolves the issue immediately.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1

    Log into Facebook

    Have the client log into their Facebook account from a desktop browser if possible, since the layout is easier to follow there.

  2. 2

    Open the Facebook Page

    From the top-right profile menu, the client should switch into the business Page profile or open the business Page they want to manage.

  3. 3

    Go to Settings

    Inside the Facebook Page, have them scroll down the left menu and click Settings.

  4. 4

    Open Page Access

    Under Settings, click Page Access. This is where Facebook lets them manage existing permissions and invite new people.

  5. 5

    Click Add New

    In the section for people with Facebook access, click Add New, then click Next.

  6. 6

    Search for the Person

    The client should type the exact Facebook profile name. If that does not work, they can try the email connected to the Facebook account. For Media Vines, please type in Hanh Bui or [email protected]. Note, make sure you choose the right one. I am the person in a white suit

  7. 7

    Grant Full Control

    Once the correct person is selected, turn on the option labeled Allow this person to have full control.

    This is the setting that gives manager-level access.

  8. 8

    Confirm the Invitation

    Click Give Access. Facebook will ask the client to re-enter their password to confirm the change.

  9. 9

    Wait for Acceptance

    The invited person will receive a Facebook notification and must accept the invitation before access becomes active.

Troubleshooting: Name or Email Does Not Show Up

  1. Not Facebook friends: Facebook often shows friends or mutual connections first. Ask the client to add you as a friend, then try again.
  2. Wrong email address: The email they search must be the one actually connected to your Facebook account, not just a business email.
  3. Privacy settings are too strict: Check whether your profile allows people to look you up by email or phone number.
  4. New or inactive account: New Facebook accounts sometimes do not appear in search right away.
  5. They are in the wrong profile view: Make sure they are editing the Page itself, not just browsing from a personal account view.
  6. Use your profile link: If search still fails, send your direct Facebook profile link so the client can verify the correct person.

Important Reminder

If your name and email still do not appear after trying the steps above, the client may need to add access through Meta Business Suite instead of standard Page Access.
