Facebook: the Page roles Munshi needs

Munshi posts to a Facebook Page. To publish, connect as an Admin on the Page. For post numbers, the same person also needs the Page's Analyze role.

Munshi publishes to a Facebook Page, never a personal profile. Connect as someone who is an Admin on the Page, not just an Editor, and approve every permission Facebook asks for. For Munshi to read the Page's post numbers, that person also needs the Page's Analyze role.

To publish: an Admin on the Page

A Page role sets what a person can do on a Facebook Page. Posting through Munshi needs the Admin role. Without that access, a post fails with this message: “Facebook needs more permissions on this Page to publish.” The same happens if a permission was declined in Facebook's window.

This often follows a change to someone's role on the Page. The post is marked failed on Social, under Drafts, with that reason.

The fix is a fresh connection. Disconnect the Facebook Page on Integrations and connect it again. Sign in as an Admin on the Page, not just an Editor, and approve every permission Facebook asks for.

To read post numbers: the Analyze role

Reading a Page's post numbers needs a separate permission from posting. The person who connects needs the Page's Analyze role. An Editor role is not enough for Facebook to report insights.

If the role is missing, a plain reconnect can fail the same way. When Facebook refuses, Results shows this in the By account panel: “Facebook needs more permissions on this Page to read its post metrics (this is separate from posting permission).”

Why the same Page keeps being offered

After you sign in, Munshi asks you to Choose a Page and publishes to the one you pick. It asks even when Facebook returns a single Page. Facebook only offers the Pages you granted on an earlier connect, and that is not always the Page you came for.

To connect a different Page, cancel and connect again. In the Facebook window, pick “Edit previous settings” to grant it.

One Page per workspace

A workspace publishes to one Facebook Page. Picking a different Page later replaces the first. To post to two Pages, give the second its own workspace, as one account per network explains.

If something goes wrong

“That network returned no pages we can post to.”

Check that the account you sign in with manages the Page. Then connect again and grant the Page in Facebook's window. This message means Facebook came back without a Page to publish to.

“Facebook needs more permissions on this Page to publish.”

Disconnect the Page on Integrations and connect it again, approving every permission Facebook asks for. Sign in as an Admin on the Page, not an Editor.

The Page I want is not in the list

Cancel, connect again, and pick “Edit previous settings” in the Facebook window to grant it. Facebook only offers the Pages you granted last time.
