What if an admin leaves a Facebook group and there are no other admins in the Facebook group? Don’t worry, the Facebook group won’t be deleted, however, it is possible that Facebook can archive the group. To avoid this, we will show you how to claim the admin role in a Facebook group that has no admins.
Without further ado, let’s get into this Facebook group tutorial.
Facebook group without admin
When someone creates a new Facebook group, the creator of the Facebook group will become an admin automatically. Then he can also add other admins to the Facebook group if he wants to do so.
However, it is possible that all Facebook group admins have left the group and currently nobody in the Facebook group has the admin role. This can be an issue as a lot of tasks can only be done by the admins.
Also, if a Facebook group doesn’t have an admin for a longer period of time, it is possible that Facebook might archive the Facebook group.
In this case, even regular members can take over the Facebook group as admins, by claiming the admin role in the members section of the Facebook group.
Let’s see how you can do that.
