To remove yourself as a Facebook page admin, first log into the personal account attached to the page you wish to rescind admin access for via the desktop website using your usual Facebook password.
NOTE: If you want to manage admin roles from the Facebook app you will need to download the Meta Business Suite app.
Switch Into Your Page Roles
You'll then have to switch profiles into the page you wish to manage. There are two methods for achieving this.
Via The Page
Navigate to the page.
On the left side page settings menu you will have the option to switch profiles to access the admin page.
Click Switch.
Via Your Profile Menu
Click your profile picture on the top right corner.
Click See All Profiles.
Select the profile you wish to manage.
The Removal Process
Once you're logged into the page you want to adjust, click your profile picture on the upper righthand corner.
Click Settings and Privacy > Settings.
Under Audience And Visibility click Page Setup.
Beneath People With Facebook Access you will see a list of existing page roles, including users who have been assigned the admin role.
To remove yourself or other admins, click the three dots to the right of the user and select Remove access.
NOTE: Only manager accounts will be able to remove other current admins. Depending on your admin permissions, you might not be able to remove another user.
If you manage several Facebook pages you can repeat the above steps. The entire removal process takes less than two minutes.
Keep In Mind
-
Removing yourself as an admin will stop Facebook notifying you of any page updates.
-
Once you have removed admin status, you will not have edit page permissions, and will not be able to access page settings.

These instructions did not work for me. When I visit Settings > Page Setup > Page Access — my name does not appear. There are no three dots to click on and I am not able to remove myself as admin. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hi! If you're the owner of the page, you won't be able to remove yourself as an admin. If you're not the owner and cannot see yourself listed as an admin, that may mean you don't have permission to make admin changes on this page and will have to ask the owner directly.
Thanks so much. Finally left some old pages!!
