If you have a Facebook page for your business or organization and have multiple admins, you’ve probably been frustrated at some point because you can’t post a comment or “like” a post by one of your other admins because it looks like you’re patting yourself on the back.

Be frustrated no longer! Below are some simple steps that will allow you to post comments to a Facebook page, of which you are an admin, using your personal Facebook account, rather than as the Page admin.

Let’s get started!

1) Login to Facebook and go to a Page of which you are an admin.

2) Click on the “Edit Page” button on the top right.

3) You will be taken to a “Manage Permissions” page by default, but you need to click on the “Your Settings” link at the very top of the left navigation menu.

4) Once on the “Your Settings” page, uncheck the first box.

5) Click on “Save Changes” at the bottom.

Now, go back to your Facebook page for which you just made the change, and you’ll notice on the right sidebar of the page where it says, “Use Facebook as [your page’s name].” This means that unless you click on this link, any comments or posts you create on this page will appear from your personal account.

If you want to post something as the Page, then click on the link and anything you post from that point on will be credited to the Page rather than your personal account. Just remember to click on “Use Facebook as [your personal account]” before you go posting all willy-nilly across Facebook, or you’ll be posting as your Page and not your personal account.

OK, a few more things to share with you before you race off to change the settings on the 5 to10 Facebook Pages for which you are an admin:

If you like “tagging” people or other pages in your posts, you’ll have to select the “Use Facebook as [your page name]” and go “like” the Pages you want to be able to tag, otherwise, you won’t get the autofill suggestions when you type the @ symbol.

Lastly, a word of caution about “liking” your own content. While the suggestions above are perfectly acceptable for Facebook pages with multiple admins, I would be very careful in using your personal account to “like” and comment on posts for a Page in which you are the only admin or contributor. If your audience were to catch on that you are seeding your own Page with positive comments or “likes,” it could harm your credibility. Just sayin’.
