First: User must be a admin of that page.

With "manage_pages" permission, request GET https://graph.facebook.com/[PAGE_ID]?fields=access_token In response will get a Page admin access_token. Now use the page admin access_token to request GET https://graph.facebook.com/[PAGE_ID]/admins

In response you will get the list of admins, their id and usernames.

"Who is admin of a page" this info is not public. So you cant get that info with permission from any admin of that page. – Sarim Jan 25 '12 at 11:43
Correct, the user access token to whom the token is issued to must be an admin of that page to see the list of admins. – DMCS Jan 25 '12 at 16:17
So there's absolute no way to check page admin or page creator? – yaqoob Jan 13 '14 at 03:36

`https://graph.facebook.com/[PAGE_ID]/admins` is deprecated for Facebook Graph API v2.2 and higher. Use `https://graph.facebook.com/[PAGE_ID]/roles` instead. – EMiDU Feb 04 '20 at 08:46

You cannot get all admin users of the app but you can test any uid.

Firstly you need to grant 'manage_pages' permission then query page_admin table. FQL implementation for current user looks as following:

$isAdmin = false;
$hasManagePerm = false;

try{
    $responses = $facebook->api('fql', 'GET', Array('q' => Array(
        'hasManagePerm' => 'SELECT manage_pages FROM permissions WHERE uid=me()',
        'isAdmin' => 'SELECT 1 FROM page_admin WHERE uid=me() AND page_id=' . APP_FB_ID,
    )));
    foreach ((Array)$responses['data'] as $response) {
        if($response['name'] == 'hasManagePerm') {
            $hasManagePerm = !empty($response['fql_result_set'][0]['manage_pages']);
        } else if($response['name'] == 'isAdmin') {
            $isAdmin = !empty($response['fql_result_set']);
        }
    }
} catch (Exception $ex) {

}

if(empty($hasManagePerm)) {
    throw new AdminPanelAccessRestrictedException("perm");
}

if(empty($isAdmin)) {
    throw new AdminPanelAccessRestrictedException("admin");
}

WHERE APP_FB_ID - an application id

If you don't like the Graph objects, you can always use FQL

fql?q=SELECT uid, page_id, type FROM page_admin WHERE page_id = {pageId}

returns this:

{
  "data": [
    {
      "uid": "6905135096",
      "page_id": "{pageId}",
      "type": "ATHLETE"
    },
    {
      "uid": "14408356540",
      "page_id": "{pageId}",
      "type": "ATHLETE"
    },
    {
      "uid": "51936644133",
      "page_id": "{pageId}",
      "type": "ATHLETE"
    },
    {
      "uid": "7230226073",
      "page_id": "{pageId}",
      "type": "ATHLETE"
    }
  ]
}

@Sarim's link of '/admins' is deprecated after Graph API 2.1.
FB Graph API 2.2 and above use '/roles'
