How to Become an Admin of a Facebook Invite

Only another admin can grant you admin status for a Facebook event.

The Facebook "Event" feature can be used to spread the word to Facebook friends about events you're planning. Good for both the environment and your wallet, these virtual invites include RSVP tracking, guest list management and options for editing. An event administrator, or admin, has the ability to add people to the guest list, edit the contents of the event and appoint additional admins. If you want to become an admin for a Facebook invite, you'll need to be appointed by an existing admin.

Instructions

1. Sign into your Facebook account. Click the "See All" link that appears next to the Upcoming Events heading in the upper-right corner of your Home page.

2. Click the name of the event for which you want to gain admin status to open the event's main page. Click the name of the event admin, which is listed in the "Created By" section.

3. Click the "Message" button that appears in the upper-right corner of the page to compose a private message to the event admin. Use the resulting dialogue box to compose your message, requesting administrator status for the event. Include a detailed reason for your request in the message, such as your desire to help with planning, adding to the guest list or assisting in some other way. Click the "Send" button and await reply and/or notification of event admin status. Note that it is at the admin's discretion to grant access.

Tips & Warnings

• You will automatically be granted admin status for events you create, and you'll have the ability to appoint additional admins if desired.
