Let us tell you the real deal for those who may not know exactly what a Facebook Admin is or how to add admins to a Facebook page. When you create a Facebook Page, you become the page’s Administrator by default. And this enables you to control everything on it.

Apart from Admin, there are several other roles, which one can choose from Admin, Editor, Moderator, Advertiser, and Analyst.
