Advertiser.  This person can view insights and create ads.

Moderator.  In addition to viewing insights and creating ads, the Moderator can also send messages as the page and respond/delete comments.

Google’s Instant Preview feature gives new meaning to the phrase “A picture is worth a thousand words.” 
 
The Instant Preview feature was rolled out without much fanfare so you may or may not be aware of it. Opinions vary on how much it affects SEM (Search Engine Marketing) or SEO (Search Engine Optimization,) but most strategists agree it places much more importance on design than ever before.
