Can’t add someone to your Page? Common problems and fixes
The person doesn’t appear in search
Try their email address instead of their name, or ask them to send you a link to their Facebook profile. If you still can’t find them, they can be added through Meta Business Suite instead.
They didn’t get the invitation
Ask them to check Facebook notifications on desktop, or open Page access on their own account. If it still isn’t there, cancel the pending invite and send it again.
The Add New button is missing
You don’t have full control of the Page. Ask an existing admin to give you full control first.
You want to give access to an agency
Use Business Manager instead of personal access. See how to share partner access with an agency.
What should you do next?
- Connect your Page to Meta Business Manager for safer, business-level access.
- Connect Instagram to your Facebook Page.
- Create a Meta ad account to start advertising.
