You can now unlink a Facebook Fan Page from your personal account!! This feature has been requested by many users and is finally here! You can now easily remove the creator of a Facebook Fan Page from the admin by following the steps below:
- While logged in go to the fan page you want to unlink from your personal profile.
- Click “edit page” under the photo/logo area.
- If you (the creator) are the only admin, add a 2nd admin that you want to transfer the fan page to. Refresh your page if the 2nd admin doesn’t automatically show up.
- You will see a “remove admin” link under the creator’s name…simply click the link and the 2nd (or additional) admin will now have control over the fan page and you the creator will not have access.
- Refresh your page. You will be taken back to your Facebook home page since you no longer have access to the fan page you were editing.
If you are the creator of a fan page and wish to remain an admin, be CAREFUL who you add as an admin because once you add them they can remove your admin privileges.
What do you think about this new feature? Are you one of the many that had been hoping Facebook would eventually allow fan page creators to unlink a fan page from their personal profile?
Do you foresee any problems with this new feature?

Hi
Thanks for the info. I don’t want a personal account with FB at all. Is there a way to have a business fan page and for the creator to be virtually invisible?
The answer is ‘yes’. I’m hoping that you haven’t created a personal account yet. Take a look at this blog post which I just published: http://www.howtousefacebookforbusiness.com/2010/07/facebook-business-account-versus-personal-account/.
I have been WAITING for this feature!! So relieved its finally here!
Apperently I am not allowed to create a administrator profil, according to the “EULA”, since all profiles must be personal…
Facebook only has two types of accounts…a Personal Account and a Business Account. (There is no such thing as an Administrator account.) Both account types can create Business Fan Pages. Read http://www.howtousefacebookforbusiness.com/2010/07/facebook-business-account-versus-personal-account/ to decide which account is right for you or your business.
