Department Chairs, Center Directors, Laboratory Directors and other Facebook page
administrators:
Our presence on the internet is boosted by departments, centers, and special events having
a presence through social media. However, due to Facebook policy regarding access to
Facebook pages, these COEHD-related pages are vulnerable to being “locked out” (forgotten
or lost password, or when someone leaves COEHD) when steps have not been taken to retain
administration or access to the account.
To prevent a lockout from occurring, I am asking that all department, center, laboratory,
and COEHD-related Facebook pages add an admin user. This would allow COEHD administrative
access to the page, retain “ownership” to COEHD , and prevent a lockout situation. This
admin account would not be used for monitoring, posting, or management of the page, but
rather as a means of access to ensure that the pages remain COEHD connected. In the event
of lockout, access to your page could be gained through COEHD communications.
I also encourage you to make sure you have a similar backup for your pages by having more
than one admin user in your particular area for your page. To add an admin user:
From the Department's/Center's/Lab's Facebook Page:
· Sign in as an admin user
· Select SETTINGS on the top right corner
· Select PAGE ROLES from the settings menu
· Type in the user name:
coehdcomm@utsa.edu<mailto:coehdcomm@utsa.edu>
· Select user type: ** Change EDITOR to ADMIN
· Save
Once the admin user is added, please send an email to
coehdcomm@utsa.edu<mailto:coehdcomm@utsa.edu> to track completion for each site.
Thank You,
