Facebook announced a new requirement for group administrators. The platform now requires admins to pass a knowledge test. This test focuses on Facebook’s Community Standards and group management tools. The goal is to improve group safety and reduce harmful posts.

Facebook groups connect millions of people worldwide. But managing large groups is challenging. Misinformation and rule-breaking content sometimes appear. Facebook believes informed admins create healthier communities.
The new test appears when an admin accesses certain features. These features include member approvals and post removals. The test consists of multiple-choice questions. Questions cover topics like hate speech policies and spam detection. Admins must answer correctly to use the restricted features.
Admins get multiple attempts to pass the test. Failing the test blocks access temporarily. Admins can review Facebook’s rules and try again later. Persistent failures might lead to longer restrictions. Facebook wants admins to understand the rules thoroughly.
This change impacts all group admins. It applies especially to admins of large, active groups. Facebook started testing this feature earlier. Now it rolls out globally to English-language groups. Support for more languages is expected later.

The knowledge test is part of broader safety efforts. Facebook recently updated its Community Standards. The platform also invested in better content moderation tools. Group admins play a critical role in content oversight. Facebook wants them equipped with the right information. This initiative aims to make groups more reliable spaces. User trust remains a key priority for the company.
