You’re a business owner and your time is precious. Managing your digital assets efficiently is crucial. But it can sometimes be quite frustrating finding the answer to your problem. Understanding how to assign or change a Page Owner on Facebook is critical for maintaining control and transparency of your business’s online presence.
Or maybe you sold your business and the new owner needs access. This quick guide provides you with straightforward steps to navigate Facebook’s settings, ensuring that you can easily assign or change a Page Owner without hassle. Whether you’re assigning a Business Manager or claiming a page with a disclaimer, this guide simplifies the process, allowing you to focus more on your business operations.
How To Assign Or Change a Page Owner On Facebook
First make sure you have the following:
You need full control access to the Facebook Page.
You must be an admin of the Business Manager if assigning it as the Page Owner.
To claim a page with a disclaimer, you must be the creator of the disclaimer.
Steps to Assign or Change a Page Owner:
Log into your Facebook account and click on your profile photo in the top right corner.
Select the Page you wish to manage.
Again, click the Page photo at the top right.
Navigate to “Settings & Privacy,” then to “Settings.”
In the left menu, choose “Page Setup.”
Next to “Issue, Electoral or Political Ads,” click “View.”
Click “Manage” below “Claim this page.”
Choose a verified organization to take responsibility for the Page and click “Assign.”
Please Note:
The option to assign a Page Owner may not be available to all. Specifically, Pages with over 5,000 U.S. followers or those that run political ads might have “Page Transparency” settings instead.
Limitations:
If you only have task access to a Page, you won’t be able to assign ownership or disclaimers.
This streamlined process should help you quickly and efficiently manage your Facebook Page ownership, freeing up more time for your other business activities.

From Meta: Best Practices for Page Ownership in Business Manager
- Page transparency: The Page transparency section of Facebook Pages may show verified information about the business that owns the Page so it’s important to make sure your Page has the correct owner. If your business currently owns a Page that should be owned by a different business, remove the Page from your business portfolio. Once you’ve removed the Page from your business portfolio, the correct business should add the Page to its business portfolio. Learn more about the Page Transparency section on Facebook Pages.
- Pages and Instagram Business Accounts: Instagram business accounts that are linked to a Facebook Page should be owned by the same business portfolio. This portfolio should also belong to the business that the Page and Instagram business account represents.
- Partners: When another business such as an advertising or creative agency helps manage your Page, your business should still own the Page in your business portfolio. Add the other business to your business portfolio as a partner, then grant them access to your Page and other assets. Learn how to give partners access to assets in your business portfolio.”
