Hello,

I created a Facebook page using our organisation's Gmail account. Unfortunately, there is no personal page linked to the account. Therefore I am unable to add any administrators, despite having all the log in codes.

Thanks for your ideas.

Jana

You can only make administrators those facebook users who have already liked that page. So, you can send other users (who you want to add as admins) the link to the facebook page by another way (email or IM perhaps). After they have liked the page, you can got the page settings where you add admins, and add them. You might have to enter the email of the users there (the email associated with their facebook account).

Thanks Danny - but you cannot add anyone unless you are using the personal page associated with the account. It is normally easy to switch accounts, but in this case it does't let me for some reason... This is my main problem.

Thanks Ha, but as I cannot access the personal page I cannot make friends with anybody, and the admins I have in mind have already liked the page. The problem is I am unable to switch back to 'personal page'Thanks for your first link - I have contacted Facebook

Thank you - but I am unable to do these suggestions as the 'personal' account was a newly created account in the name of the organisation, and is not friends with my own personal Facebook account.As I am not able to switch to using the personal account for the page from within the page, I am not able to invite anyone to be a friend, and thus allow them administrator privileges. Any other ideas?
