Confirm Facebook Page Admin Status

2. From your Feed, click on Pages in the left menu.
   

3. Go to your Page and click Settings in the bottom left. *Note: If you still can't navigate to settings, then you are not an admin!
   

   

4. Click on Page Roles in the left column.
   

   

5. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to "Existing Page Roles"
   

6. Your profile should show up as an admin.
