Set up and configuration1.3 About section1.4 Roles and permissionsWhen people are on Facebook and want to findany information about your company, your page’s‘About section’ is most likely where they’ll go.Managing a Facebook page is not always easy, and you might need some assistance to maintain yourpage activity.There are a few options/roles in the settings to manage your page with others :So it is important that you fill in all the contactdetails and general information fields in order tomaximize the chance of being contacted. Admin: Admins can manage all aspects of the page, meaning they can send messages, publish asthe page, respond or delete comments, create ads, see which admin published a specific post, andassign page roles. This person would have all the same permissions as the creator of the page.Choose wisely.The ‘About’ section is the perfect place to describewho you (& NEXO) are, highlighting your statementand company story. We recommend you don’t usetoo many words, but opt for a short and conciseparagraph.We would highly recommend you provide at least acontact email or phone number. The more contactoptions someone has, the better.In addition to your local contact details, make sureto put NEXO’s contact details as well. Editor: Those who you assign to be an editor of your page can do everything the admins can do withthe exception of managing the page roles and settings. Moderator: Moderators can send messages and respond to and delete comments, but they can’tpublish as the page. They do have access to create ads.
