For businesses and agencies managing a brand's presence on Facebook, having access to the Facebook Page is essential for posting content, engaging with followers, and monitoring insights. This guide covers securely giving or requesting access to a Facebook Page in 2024.
Why Grant Access to Your Facebook Page?
Granting access to your Facebook Page allows team members or agencies to:
