Find out Admin of Facebook Page

Facebook page hosted by some group of facebook profiles or a single profile can host it. When you create facebook page, there should be a profile attached to that account to access full features. There is a feature of fb pages that you can show number of admin on your page sidebar. But some pages don’t show their admin.
So if you wish to see those Admins you can try this trick:
  • Go to your messages tab and click “Other” or “Other Messages” on the sidebar.
  • Here you will see updates from pages, look for the update from a page that you are looking to track admin.
  • Now open an update and go to this update from your mobile device (only facebook mobile site).
  • If you don’t use mobile device you can browse on your desktop browser too, replace ‘WWW’ with ‘M’ in address bar and hit Enter.
  • When you'll go to that update by facebook mobile site you will see a profile link in subject line of update, click this link and you will land to profile that is attached to facebook page or say admin of that page.

Note that You can only apply this trick if page sent you an update ever in past. Pages that didn’t send you any update yet, you cannot see admin of those pages.

Update#1 (16 April 2013)
First of all I would like to thank you all for your response.
You should notice this thing that Facebook updated their messaging system and this trick only works with the Facebook old messaging system.
So here I will clear that you cannot find out admin of Facebook page with existing system but you can get the admin of page if you have the old messages from facebook page.
You have to check your inbox section where you have to click "view other messages" link, now process is little bit changed.

  • Follow all the instruction that is mentioned above but you will not see the admin in mobile site.
  • Install the firebug here. Don't if you have already.
  • Press F12, In firebug window click on element selector (i.e.  arrow on firebug option tab) 
  • Now click on message text, you will see a div element which have this "data-sigil='message-text'" attribute. 
  • This div have data attribute which is named as data-store and you are done. This data have a property "author":100001xxxxxxxxx where this value is the author id mean page admin id. (i.e. 100001xxxxxxxxx).
  • You can get details about the admin by putting this id in that url http://graph.facebook.com/idxxxx  (i.e. http://graph.facebook.com/100001xxxxxxxxx)

But unfortunately this trick will only work if you have message from Facebook page around the time of writing this post (around 2011).

Now Facebook don't share or store page admin data anywhere so it is almost impossible without social hacking to get the Facebook page admin, but here is another trick but not applicable to all Facebook pages.
  • Look for the website of the facebook page. (If no website page have then it is useless).
  • Go to website of page and look for the html source of page. (Press CTRL+U).
  • Search for "<meta property='fb:admins'..." The content value is the admin id of facebook page.
  • If you don't get this fb:admin meta property then it mean site owner didn’t add this property so wait for the facebook admin to optimize his/her site for facebook.

  7. yeah now facebook pages can't send update to their fans so now no message comes under others. if you have any old update in your others messages so you can see the admin.

  8. Nick, this is directly related to this post but your insights are the closest I've come to finding someone who might know (or perhaps suggest a post to refer me to):

    Q. Someone in my non-profit created a Facebook page for our org. but now we don't know who that was and we need to get admin rights so we can change logos and contact details...

    Can/will Facebook help us or is there a way to find out who the admin is (as of now I can't figure it out) b/c there aren't any "updates" like you mentioned above in the m.facebook.com work around.

    Thanks for ANY help... or direction on how to deal with Facebook in this situation.

    1. Hi kevin, sorry but there is no other legal way to find admin. The things you can do create an app which list pages that is manged by an account and ask every user to grant permission to read their data to that app.
      Or simple you can do ask every user to visit that page. When they are logged-in into their facebook account if they see the page admin panel so that account is admin account. Other than this no legal way.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Hello, I know you've probably been getting lots of messages but I NEED your help. I'm so desperate. Basically what happened is: We gave the wrong guy admin powers, and he deleted us all from the page. Even the girl who created it. Not only did he ruin all our hardwork, and some of our friendships but he's pulling it off like NOTHING has happened. We managed to use alternative accounts to be able to get on the "inside" but he only made us editors. We've been researching for about two days now on what to do. It seems like it's just a facebook page and we should give up, but we're not going to because it's not JUST a facebook page. It's our page, where we met amazing people, get active in what we liked, it's in other words so much more then a facebook page. So could you give us advice or something? Thank you for reading, and it would be amazing if we got a reply soon. :)

  60. Good morning Nick. My husband and I are in desperate need of your help. About a year ago someone running a page called Baraboo Views pretended to be my husband and made viscous comments to and about people and claimed my husband was the admin of this page. The situation actually got so bad our local paper did an article on it claiming he was as well, just because they had people, who he was "supposedly" extremely mean to, claim he was the admin and the paper had no other real facts. After this article came out my husbands boss found out about the article and gave him a written warning saying if there is ever another incident like this he will be fired. My husband has nothing to do with that page and had no way to prove it. Well throughout the year the page shut down but now another page has arisen and doing the same thing all over again. I am disabled and cannot work currently so my husband is our only source of income and cannot afford for him to lose his job. Please help. We have had no contact with this page other than monitoring the posts, we have not liked the page nor commented on it. We need to find out who the admins are and soon before my husbands boss catches wind of what is going on again. The facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/Saukcountyconfessions Please help, I don't know what else to do.
