Editing a list of page authors
A page can have one or more authors. The main author is the page owner. By default, this is the user who created the page. The owner's name is indicated above the page title. All other authors are called co-authors and have the same rights as the page owner.

A new author of the page can be assigned by its current author or the organization's administrator.
