How To Stop Being an Admin on a Facebook Page

Facebook allows its users to manage several aspects of their pages through assigned roles such as admin, editor, moderator, advertiser, and analyst. Each role has designated tasks to help the free flow of things on the page.

A Facebook admin is the overall leader and is responsible for overseeing all the major aspects of the page. The tasks as an admin can be too overbearing, especially when you have other things going on in your life that need attention.

Maybe you don’t have as much time as you used to have to respond and attend to the need of the members. Perhaps you feel someone else can do a better job? Or do you want to quit the organization and stop being the admin on their Facebook page?

No worries! We will show you how to stop being an admin on a Facebook page in this article on your Facebook mobile app and PC.
