Reposting a comment from last week:
What happens to the page when the person who's the administrator leaves the organization? Is there some way the page can be "reassigned" to another Facebook user? The potential for an unhappy ex-employee to sabotage the organization's FB page seems worrisome.Main Street Theater's next comment got it right:
You can make admins out of any of the fans or any of your friends.
After you create your Page, you can grant additional people in your organization Administrator access.
By doing that, you give them full authority over adding, deleting, and editing Page content -- AND full authority over adding/deleting other Admins as well. So if you're the Page creator, and you deputize someone else as an Admin, that person will have the power to remove you as an Admin later if you leave the company. And you'll have the power to remove other Admins yourself, too, if they're the ones leaving.
(Of course, that also means that if you're dealing with an "unhappy ex-employee" situation, you'd better make sure you delete her before she deletes you! There are no different "levels" of being an Admin; everyone has equal rights.)
You can change/add/delete Page Admins from the Page itself -- you should see an "Add Admins" link on the left side directly under the Page photo.

This is very helpful. But isn't it true that you can't delete or remove the original admin whose profile was used to create the page? How can you transfer the page or remove that person if they leave the company?
Hi Liz. I just tested this out on our own Page and you're right, it doesn't give you the option to remove the creator from the list of admins. This is contrary to what I had read, so I'll go dig in some more and figure out if there's another solution. Thanks for pointing it out!
