Introduction

The Admin of a Facebook page has full control, which means he can give or remove user admin access to a Facebook page or a linked Instagram page. If you're the Admin and choose to give Admin access to another user, this person will have the same access as you. He can also remove you as Admin, as he has full control of the Facebook page. If you lost access to a Facebook page, an administrator might have removed you or your account may have been hacked. Read this guide to help you regain access to your Admin page.
