Who is in charge of your Facebook page? is a post by Fiona Powell from the blog Chiefette
Your intern or office junior or your PA set up your business’s Facebook Page and it’s flourishing nicely… then they leave – and suddenly no-one else in your company can access your page (and worse still, what if the departee leaves under a cloud and they close the page down or add defamatory content or responses to it?).
When we set up clients with a Facebook business page we ensure that at least two people from the business (and preferably the owner being one of them) are ‘admins’ of the page. (To assign admin roles, the person must be a friend of the page first, then the original admin person can add others as admins).
This means if one of the ‘admins’ leaves then the remaining admin still has access and can remove the departing person’s admin access to the page.
Have you considered who has access to your company blog, your twitter account, your google analytics account, your domain registry details…. in many cases it will be your staff or web developer or social media manager, or who-ever set them up – what if they leave or move on? Do you still have access? Definitely worth some consideration (and requesting copies of access details).
