How Do You Give Up Admin Status in Facebook?

If you are an administrator for a Facebook page or group, you can add or remove admins from the Manage Admins page. In the past, it was not always possible to remove an admin who was the creator of a page or group, but Facebook enabled this feature in 2010. If you are the only admin for a Facebook page or group, consider giving admin status to someone else before removing yourself. Once you remove your own admin status, only another admin can give it back again.

Instructions

Adding Another Admin

1. Log in to Facebook.

2. Navigate to your Facebook page or group. Click "More" on the left menu of your Facebook home page, then click your page or group link.

3. Click the "Edit Page" or "Edit Group" button.

4. Click "Manage Admins."

5. Type a name in the text field. The person's avatar will be displayed. Click "Save Changes."

Removing Yourself as an Admin

1. Navigate to your Facebook page or group. Click the "Edit Page" or "Edit Group" button.

2. Click "Manage Admins."

3. Click "Remove" beside your name. Click "Save Changes."
