It's important to have at least one backup "admin" for you office or department Facebook (FB) Page. Show
Facebook Pages are created through individual Facebook profiles. The person who creates the FB Page becomes the first, and sometimes only, "admin." If a FB Page has only one admin and that person leaves NDSU or deletes their personal Facebook profile, the page may be lost to your department, taking with it all the posts, likes and comments the page has gathered. To avoid an unfortunate end to your Facebook Page, you just need to make sure your page has multiple admins. Any admin of a FB Page can add an additional admin as long as the new admin has a Facebook account, and they are friends with the original admin on Facebook or the original admin knows the email address associated with the new admin's Facebook account. If there is no one in your office who can be made an admin for your FB Page, you can add me as an admin for your page using my email address, . Just login to your Facebook profile and visit the FB Page you want to add an admin to. Once there, click on the "Settings" tab. Next, click "Page Roles" in the "Settings"
menu. Add an admin by beginning to type their name or by typing in the email address associated with their Facebook account. If you are friends with the person you are adding, their Facebook profile should pop-up when you start typing their name. If you are using their email address, just type the full email address. You will want to set their page role to "Admin." FB Page admins have the same permissions to edit a page as the person who created the page. If you want a true backup in case you leave NDSU or cannot access the FB Page, you'll need to assign someone the role of "Admin." Click "Save" when you are
done. Once you've added someone to your Facebook Page, they will receive a Facebook notification to let them know. If you are interested in using the other page roles Facebook provides for giving people access to your page, check out the chart

Whatever the drama, you’re going to want to appeal to have your Page rightfully in your care. First, make sure there isn’t a valid reason for this person to withhold account access. If you are an agency, for example, make sure there are no outstanding fees from either party. This is a very common scenario and is ripe for litigation. Make sure you are all paid up before moving forward with requesting a Facebook Page transfer. This brings us to our next and final Facebook drama that only the true Facebook Page owner can resolve (no DNA tests required). Facebook Page Ownership DisputeAs you can see, sometimes we need to have a healthy discussion about who gets the family Facebook Page when we split apart, or Business Page. This is a troublesome thought, imagine your Facebook Business Page just sitting there on the world wide web, with no one to manage it. Hopefully, you installed a chatbot prior that is sending your customers, prospects, and fans happy messages while you clear up this mess. You can claim your unmanaged Facebook Page relatively easily: Step 1) Go to the unmanaged Facebook Page and click the “Is this your business?” link in the top right. Step 2) Fill in the prompts for the basic info, such as the website and physical address of your business. Step 3) Select from the options to verify by phone, documents, or email and follow through with the supporting documents. But what if someone else has taken the reins, what if your Facebook Business Page has fallen into the wrong hands? Get ready to jump through hoops if someone else has claimed your Facebook Page. It ain’t pretty. You may be asked to provide a notarized statement from your lawyer about the importance of the Page. If a digital agency you have worked with in the past has claimed your Page, with permission, but is now defunct or long gone… you could be in a pickle. The best solution, in that case, is to contact the person who claimed your Page, whether it’s an old account manager, employee, or intern. Ask them to fix it and avoid a headache with Facebook’s curmudgeon legal process. You might want to pursue trying to report copyright infringement on the person impersonating your ownership. Another solution could be to create a new Page and attempt to merge the two accounts and verify you are the rightful owner in the process. Hopefully, this solves your Facebook woes and keeps your Page out of limbo!
