Difference Between Admin and Moderator on Facebook
Understanding the admin role and moderator role is critical for effective group management.
An admin of a Facebook group has full control over the group settings, including adding or removing members, approving or denying posts, and assigning admin or moderator roles to other members.
Admins can also change the group name, privacy settings, and group description.
Moderators, on the other hand, can approve or deny membership requests and posts, remove posts and comments, and remove or block people from the group.
They don’t have the ability to change group settings or assign roles.
How to See Admins on Facebook Group
To see who holds the admin or moderator roles in a Facebook group:
- Open the group in which you want to view the admin and moderator list.
- Tap the “Members” section.
- Scroll down to the bottom to find “Admins and Moderators.”

To remove someone as a moderator or admin all you need to is right click on the 3 dot next to their name and click on remove admin
This information helps members know who to contact for group-related queries and is an important transparency aspect of group management.
Remember, whether you are adding an admin or moderator, or just checking who currently holds these positions, it’s always a good idea to be sure that these individuals align with the group’s common interests and are willing to help manage the community according to the group rules.
