Managing an Instagram business page effectively is a lot sometimes, we get it. However, assigning roles and responsibilities to ensure seamless operations make it feel less like that Willy Wonka boat ride and more like a leisurely Caribbean cruise. A super admin, often referred to as a "full control admin," has the highest level of access and permissions on your Instagram account. This includes the ability to manage content, view analytics, control settings, and add or remove other admins.
At OS Media Group we believe in working with our clients to reach their marketing goals. We’ll take care of the lions share of the social media creation, posting, and management. But you’re the expert in your field and sometimes, an expert needs to weigh in (or someone of your choosing). Having multiple admins, at multiple levels, is crucial for redundancy, ensuring that your business operations aren't disrupted if one admin is unavailable or leaves the organization.
A step-by-step guide to adding someone as a super admin on your Instagram business page:
1. Switch to a Business or Creator Account
Before you can add an admin, ensure that your Instagram account is set to a business or creator account. You can do this by going to your profile settings and selecting "Account" > "Switch to Professional Account." This step is necessary to unlock admin management features.
2. Link Instagram to a Facebook Page
For admin management, your Instagram must be linked to a Facebook page. To do this, go to your Instagram profile, tap on "Edit Profile," and under "Public Business Information," connect your Facebook page. This connection is essential as admin roles are managed through Meta’s platforms (who owns both social media platforms).
3. Access Meta Business Suite
Log in to Meta Business Suite, which is the hub for managing roles across Facebook and Instagram. Navigate to the "Settings" section, and under "Business Assets," ensure your Instagram account is listed and connected.
4. Add a New Admin
In the Meta Business Suite, go to the "People" section under "Settings." Here, you can add a new admin by entering their email or Facebook profile. Assign them the role of "Admin" or "Full Control Admin" to grant them complete access.
5. Verify and Confirm Admin Access
The person you’ve added will receive an email invitation. They need to accept this invitation to gain access. Once accepted, they will have full control over the Instagram account, including content management, settings, and analytics.
6. Review and Finalize Permissions
Ensure the new admin’s role and permissions are set correctly. It's a good practice to regularly review who has access to maintain account security.
7. Manually reach out to your admin by email or text to ensure they are looking for the invite and received it.
Why Multiple Admins Matter
Having multiple admins is vital for business continuity. It ensures that if one admin is unavailable, another can step in, preventing any operational downtime, unhappy customers, and loss of revenue. It also adds a layer of security, as more people can monitor the account for unusual activity and inappropriate comments or links.
