Troubleshooting
If you're having trouble making a Page a group admin, it might be because:
You aren't a group admin, so you can't invite a Page or anyone else to become an admin. Learn how someone can invite you to become an admin
, or how to claim the admin role
.
The Page hasn't been able to join the group. Keep in mind that the admins might need to allow Pages to join the group
, someone needs to be granted Facebook access of a Page
in order to join a group as the Page, and Pages can't be sent an invitation to join a group (but they can request to join a group if Pages are allowed to join the group
).

Classic Pages on Facebook are updating to the new Pages experience
. You’ll still have access to many of the same features to manage your professional presence, build your brand or business, grow your audience and connect with followers. Your content, insights, ads, Likes and followers will automatically transfer when your Page updates.
Profiles
A profile
is a place on Facebook where you can share information about yourself, such as your interests, photos, videos, current city and hometown.
Profiles can also be places where creators connect with their fans by turning on professional mode
. When a creator turns on professional mode
, anyone can follow their profile and see the creator’s public content in their Feed. If you’re a creator with professional mode on your profile, you can still share information and posts to your friends only or to a public audience. To see your profile, click or tap your name or profile picture at the top of Facebook.
Pages
You must have a profile to create a Page
or help manage one. Pages
are places on Facebook where artists, public figures, businesses, brands, organizations and nonprofits can connect with their fans or customers. When someone likes or follows a Page on Facebook, they can start seeing updates from that Page in their Feed.
To see an example of a Page, see the screenshot below.
Groups
You must have a profile to create a group
or help manage one. Groups
are a place to communicate about shared interests with certain people. You can create a group for anything — your family reunion, your after-work sports team, your book club — and customize the group's privacy settings
depending on who you want to be able to join and see the group. When you join a group on Facebook, you start seeing content from that group in your Feed.
