What is Task Access on Facebook?

Task Access on Facebook is the more limited access level you can give someone to manage your Facebook page. It is basically the new way how you could previously add someone as a moderator, an editor, an advertiser or as an analyst to the Facebook page.

A person with Task Access on Facebook will be able to manage specific tasks using tools like Facebook Business Suite or Creator Studio but won’t be able to switch to the Facebook page.

You can give the following task access on Facebook to someone:

  • manage the content of the Facebook page (create, delete, edit Facebook posts, stories). This is similar to the legacy Facebook page editor role
  • manage messages of the Facebook page
  • manage community activity (review and respond to comments, delete unwanted comments.) Similar to the legacy Facebook page moderator role
  • manage ads (create and manage ads for the Facebook Page). This is what the legacy Facebook page advertiser role could do.

As you know, one of the new features of the new Facebook page is the ability to switch into the Facebook page and use it as you would use your regular Facebook profile.

Facebook Task vs Facebook Access

This is the main difference between Facebook Task Access vs Facebook Access. If you have only Task Access on Facebook you can’t use Facebook as a Facebook page. However, you can still manage the Facebook page and the specifics depend on what task access you have been given to.

With Task Access on Facebook you won’t have admin level access, you have to have Facebook Access to be able to add other people or remove users from the Facebook page.

Issues with granting someone Facebook Task Access

If you can’t add someone Task Access to a Facebook page, consider the following two things.

First, Facebook Task Access is the new feature of the new Facebook page design, sometimes also called new Facebook page experience.

If you haven’t switched to the new Facebook page design or you switched back to the classic Facebook  page, you won’t be able to add someone Task Access.

Secondly, you can only grant someone Facebook Task Access if you have Facebook Access with full control. This is similar to the legacy page admin role.
