If someone still has access to your Facebook page and you want them gone, here’s the straight answer: go to your Page settings or Meta Business Manager, find Page Access or Business Assets, and remove their access from there. That’s it in simple terms.
But here’s where people get stuck. Facebook changed things. Now there are two systems working together Page Access and Business Manager. And if you look in the wrong place, the remove option simply won’t show.
Let me walk you through this in a way that actually works.
What removing a partner from a Facebook page actually means
Facebook uses different words that confuse people.
A partner usually means:
- A Business Manager account (like an agency)
- Not just a normal admin or editor
While admin access means:
- A person directly added to your page
Here’s the key difference:
- Partner = business-level access
- Admin = personal profile access
So if someone was added through Meta Business Manager, you won’t find them in normal page settings.
That’s why many people say, “I can’t remove them.”
They’re just looking in the wrong place.
Why you might want to remove someone from your page
Most of the time, it’s one of these situations:
- You hired an agency and now the work is done
- A team member left your business
- Someone added themselves or got access by mistake
- You’re cleaning up page security
Honestly, this matters more than people think.
If someone still has access, they can:
- Post content
- Run ads
- Change page roles
- Even remove you in some cases
So yeah, it’s not something to ignore.
Where this setting is hiding inside Facebook
Here’s the part most people miss.
Facebook has split control into:
- Facebook Page Settings
- Meta Business Suite / Business Manager
If the person is:
- Added directly → check Page Access
- Added as partner → check Business Manager
That’s why sometimes you don’t see the “Remove” button.
How to remove a partner with access from your Facebook page
Let’s do this the right way.
Start with Meta Business Manager, because that’s where partner access lives.
Open your browser and go to:
business.facebook.com
Now:
- Go to Settings
- Click Business Settings
- Look for Accounts → Pages
- Select your page
On the right side, you’ll see:
- People
- Partners
If the person is listed under Partners, here’s what to do:
- Click the partner name
- Look for the option to Remove access
- Confirm it
Done.
That removes the business-level access completely.
How to remove someone from admin access
If the person is not a partner, they’re probably added directly.
In that case:
- Go to your Facebook Page
- Click Settings
- Open Page Access
You’ll see people listed under:
- Facebook access
- Task access
Find the person:
- Click their name
- Click Remove access
- Enter your password
That’s it.
One important thing:
You must have full control to remove others.
What to do if you don’t see the remove option
This is where things get frustrating.
If you can’t remove someone, one of these is happening:
You don’t have full admin control
You might be an editor or limited admin. Only full control users can remove others.
The page is owned by Business Manager
If a company owns the page, you must remove access from Business Manager, not page settings.
You are trying from mobile app
Some options simply don’t show on mobile.
How to unlink a Business Manager from your page
Sometimes you don’t just want to remove a person.
You want to remove the entire partner company.
Here’s how:
- Open Business Settings
- Go to Accounts → Pages
- Select your page
- Click the Partner listed
- Choose Remove
This disconnects the business completely.
Be careful here.
If that Business Manager owns the page, you can’t remove it easily.
The mistake most people make here
People mix up three things:
- Page roles
- Business Manager access
- Task permissions
And Facebook doesn’t explain it clearly.
So they keep trying the same screen again and again.
Here’s the simple rule:
If you don’t see the person → check Business Manager
If you see them but can’t remove → you lack full control
That’s usually the answer.
Mobile users face this issue more often
The Facebook mobile app is limited.
You can:
- View roles
- Sometimes remove basic access
But for anything serious like:
- Partner removal
- Business Manager unlinking
You need a browser.
Even better, use a laptop or desktop.
