Can I promote someone else to be a group admin on Facebook?Is is possible to promote someone to creator of the group? I own a school group and I no longer attend that school so I would like to give all rights/privileges of the group to someone who still attends the school. I'm not positive I've figured out the solution to your dilemma, but I have a pretty darn good idea how you can proceed. The basic procedure is that you need to have the other person join the group then you make them an admin and resign from the group yourself. Here's how I added my friend Dan to a group I run on Facebook, as a demonstration. First step is to figure out in the new "improved" how to get to Facebook groups. The easy way is to click on the "groups" icon on the lower left corner of any Facebook page:  Now you're in the "Groups" area, click on "My Groups" on the top left:  Now choose "Groups You Admin" from the different choices you have:  Finally, you should see your group (or groups, if you have more than one):  Okay, now we can do something! Click on "Edit Group" and you'll see a page that has a variety of different information about your group:  At this point you want to click on "Invite" (though if you want to make someone an "officer" of the group along the way, click on "Officers", but that's another story):  Notice that you'll see a list of every member of the group, and adjacent to each "Remove" and "Make Admin". Find the person you want to promote to administrator, then click "Make Admin". You'll get a verification window:  Ready to do it? Click on "Make Admin" and they're now an administrator for the group. If you look at the group info page you'll now see the new admin (in this case, my friend Dan Gray) show on the group info page:  If you decide you don't want to keep them as an admin, just click on the "Remove Admin" link:  And, as usual, you get a verification window:  If you want to proceed, make the new person an admin, then simply remove yourself from the group entirely. At that point, they should be the only admin and you should be free (though I have to admit I have never tried that very last step. Perhaps someone else who has more experience with Facebook groups can comment on whether this does in fact work?) I'd also like to let you know that I have quite a bit of Facebook help here on the site and that I also have an Ask Dave Taylor Facebook Fan Page that I invite you to join.

Hi, "Our system automatically deletes groups once they're empty (no members). If you have already left the group, you may contact another admin to request that they remove the members. Please note that if there are no current admins, all group members will have the option of taking the admin role.If the group is an open group and has no admins, you may rejoin the group from the group’s page and set yourself as admin again." Any suggestions for me? I apprecaite any help you can offer. We have two admins to a fan page (for a mothers of twins club) and were wondering how we could comment on our fan page as ourselves and not as the page admin? Every once in a while it would be better for us to interject a comment as ourselves versus the admin. HOw can you choose what profile you comment under? ????? Posted by: Wendy at March 8, 2010 7:09 PMOk, so i am the creating Admin for a Army unit fan page. I, like many other people WANT the ability to post to the page as ME and not just as the page admin. I followed your steps, i even went and created a new FAKE account specifically to admin the fan page. I made the fake account a admin, un-fanned(proper term?) the page and guess what? Even not being a fan of the page i still have full admin privliges. Is that not the stupidest thing ever? What happens if say a major band has there manager create a fan page then they fire the manager later? do they have to create a whole new fan page? does the manager have to delete HIS facebook to finally get removed as the admin? this has to be the DUMBEST way for facebook to ensure the privacy of admins. Posted by: Rabbit at March 17, 2010 10:46 PMJennifer, I have exact same problem. accidently deleted myself as group administrator now willl not let me (or anyone else) become administrator. How to delete group or become admin I have no idea. Posted by: rebecca at May 29, 2010 3:13 PMI share this problem with Jennifer and Rebecca. Is there anything we can do do get a new admin or restore ourselves to the status of admin at that group, once we accidently deleted ourselves? Posted by: Maria at June 16, 2010 5:07 PMI have something to say, now that you mention it, but ...
I do have a comment, now that you mention it!
