Give someone access to a Facebook Page

Giving someone access to a Facebook Page means granting their personal profile a role on the Page, never handing over a password. It's how businesses bring in marketers, agencies, and virtual assistants safely: access is granted per person, scoped to the Page, and revocable in one click when the engagement ends. The same pattern exists on LinkedIn and Google, and this guide covers all three.

How to give someone access to a Facebook Page

The grant happens in Meta Business Suite and takes a couple of minutes.

1. Open your Page's access settings

In Meta Business Suite, open the Page's settings and find Page access. This screen lists everyone who currently has a role on the Page, which is worth a look in itself; old agencies and former employees linger here more often than you'd think.

2. Add the person by their profile

Choose to add someone, search for their personal Facebook profile, and select the access level. Facebook access with full or partial control covers the usual marketer setup; reserve full control for people who should be able to manage settings and other people's access.

3. They accept the invite

The person gets a notification and accepts, and the Page appears in their own Facebook account. No passwords moved, and either side can end the arrangement from the same settings screen later.

4. A linked Instagram comes along

If the Page is linked to an Instagram professional account, Page access typically carries over to managing that Instagram too, which is why agencies ask for Page access rather than Instagram logins.

The same move on LinkedIn and Google

Every major business platform has its own version of this pattern:

• LinkedIn Page: a current admin opens the Page's admin tools and adds the person as an admin by their LinkedIn profile. Content-level roles exist for people who should post but not manage.
• Google Business Profile: the owner adds the person's Google account as a manager of the Business Profile, which covers posts, review replies, and profile edits.

What this unlocks in a scheduler

Role-based access is what makes tools like Pallyy work without any password sharing. Once you have a role on the client's Facebook Page, LinkedIn Page, or Google Business Profile, you connect those pages in Settings > Social Sets with your own logins, and their Pages appear in your list alongside your own. The full workflow, including the invite links that cover networks without roles, is in the client connections guide.

Frequently asked questions

Can I give someone access to a Facebook Page without giving them my password?

Yes, and you never should share the password. Page roles grant access to the person's own Facebook profile, scoped to the Page, and you can remove them at any time from the same settings screen.

What access level should I give a marketer or agency?

Task-level access covering content, messages, and insights fits most marketing engagements. Full control belongs only with people who should manage the Page's settings and everyone else's access, which usually means the owner and one backup.

Does Facebook Page access include Instagram?

When an Instagram professional account is linked to the Page, Page access generally extends to managing that Instagram as well. That's why schedulers connect client Instagrams through the Facebook Page rather than an Instagram password.

How do I remove someone's access later?

Open the same Page access screen in Meta Business Suite and remove them. Because access was role-based, removal is one click, with no passwords to rotate afterward.
