So here's the thing, I can't ask for 'publish_actions' permission for other users than Developers and Test Users.
And when I tried posting an action with a regular user I got an error like this one:
"(#200) Requires extended permission: publish_actions"
Also from the facebook documentation:
"While in Open Graph Beta, the 'publish_actions' permission can only be requested from developers and test users of your app. The 'publish_actions' permission will be ignored if requested from any other user."
.......
"Open Graph is still in beta. Though you can submit Open Graph actions for review in the Dev App, actions will not be approved until Timeline is available to all users."
Any clues on when this would be fully available for real apps ?
Open Graph is still in beta, and will launch soon after Timeline has been rolled out. Only then will you be able to request publish_actions for non-developers of your app.
go to the app's open graph
edit open graph
click the get code button
you gotta
confirm -> api explorer
and run app
but you will have the role developer
tester do not work.
because tester can't edit apps property.

I am making a server-to-server Facebook 'app' so that some of the news articles we post to our own website can be posted on our own Facebook page too. I have read 14 squintillion pages of documentation, but cannot find how to get the publish_pages permission for myself or the app.
I have coaxed the app through the review process, and got the manage_pages permission allowed. I thought I had to submit all over again, to get publish_pages too, but the documentation says no. Apparently anyone appearing in the Roles for the app can grant the necessary permissions.
I have set myself up as admin for the app, yet when trying to get a token using the Facebook developer tools, I am never shown publish_pages. So even if I create a non-expiring token (my end goal) it is rejected with a message about the lack of publish_pages.
Shouldn't I be seeing more permissions listed here?
I'm sure I've read all relevant parts of the official documentation, plus StackOverflow answers and several unofficial walk-throughs, but I cannot work out what I am missing...
I thought I had to submit all over again, to get publish_pages too,
You do.
but the documentation says no. Apparently anyone appearing in the Roles for the app can grant the necessary permissions.
That is for apps in dev mode. Any of those users can grant the permission to your app, while it is in dev mode. But whatever you publish through your app, will only be visible to this group of users only, and not to the general public.
For the content to be visible to everyone, your app needs to be in live mode.
Before you can ask people - even those with a role in the app - for publish_pages when your app is in live mode, you need to submit that permission for review.
I have been developing using the FB.api(), but now I get the following error message
"This app does not have permission to manage this Workplace account"
when I try and make a new post, but I can still delete posts!!
I do not think I have changed any permissions, The Page is a Test Page, My Account is set up as administrator for both The Page and The App. I cannot see anywhere on either The Page or The App where I can provide permissions.
I have not got a Workplace Account, and cannot see how I might add/edit/remove one.
Well, how bizzar....If you post a new message with FB.api() and have property
formatting: 'MARKDOWN'
then you get an error about permission on Workplace Account!!
I'm using facebook android sdk v3.19.1 in my android app. I try to use LikeView, but it's only working with users who added to the facebook app settings in the roles section as developer or tester. If I try to click the like button with a normal facebook user or a test user it's appears and disappears quickly and gives back the following error message:
error_description: The like dialog is only available to developers and testers.
error: server_error
error_reason: dialog_disabled
My app is pubilc and I turned on the Single Sign On and Deep Linking options.
I'm using facebook LoginButton and ask for "publish_actions" permission before the user click's the like button, but it's still gives me the error message.
My problem is that I can't make the like button working with test users. I submitted the like button for review to the facebook, but they gives me the following response: Please confirm your app is working correctly and that you can publish likes with a test user.
Please somebody help me to solve this. Thanks.
I have the same problem. I found this on the Facebook docs.
Test users cannot become a fan of a public Facebook Page or create
content on them, such as writing on a Page's wall. A Test user can
however view and interact with any app tab on the Page associated with
the app that created them.
(https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/test-users?locale=es_ES)
Are you using the FB test user account for your app? Test accounts are not allowed to Like a page. I had the same problem. I changed to using my actual FB account and the LikeButton worked perfectly fine!
Facebook official docs mention that the publish_actions permissions is needed to publish on your FB stream open graph features (actions + objects).
Well, I'm getting a problem to make it work. On the docs it is mentioned that these features are rolling out slowly to all users and will be available soon, but for now, they should be available for the developer and the test users (at least until my actions/objects are approved). Well, this doesn't work, I get an OAuthException ("(#200) Requires extended permission: publish_actions or App must be on whitelist").
So to make it work, I must first go to the Graph API explorer, grant myself manually a permission (publish_actions) to get the token and only then it works(maybe it is buggy?).
The other option is to categorize my app as "game" and then it behaves as expected. They also say we should enable the Enhanced Auth Dialog, so I did, but that didn't help.
Bump
Edit
This was actually in main docs (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/tutorial/#authenticate)
To make it work, just use the FBML for the login button with the scope:
<fb:login-button width="200" max-rows="1" scope="publish_actions">
</fb:login-button>
Works only for test users and developers instantly, but I guess that when my actions/objects will be approved, I will be able to roll this to all of my users.
I'm using the xfbml Add To Timeline social plugin (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/add-to-timeline/), but when I click it the permissions dialog I get just says "Access my basic information" and sure enough it isn't actually getting me the publish_actions permission I need to use the timeline. I tried specifying the perm explicitly on the tag like so:<fb:add-to-timeline show-face="false" mode="button" perms="publish_actions"></fb:add-to-timeline> but no luck.
This was working fine yesterday and suddenly now it isn't. I'm wondering if this has something to do with my adding and removing my app from my facebook account multiple times?
This was driving me crazy for a long while. In my case, I fixed it by enabling 'Enhanced Auth Dialog' under the Advanced tab of my app settings.
When asking for publish_actions Facebook shows a preview screen of what sort of aggregations your app will create on their timeline.
In other words, if the preview isn't working, Facebook won't ask for the permission so you're asking in vain. Facebook doesn't make this clear in the docs, but everything needs to be perfectly setup with your app on Facebook to get this to work right.
Enable Enhanced Auth Dialong in the advanced settings of the app
Make sure you have at least one action and one object set up in the open graph section
For each action you must have an aggregation set up.
If you do not do all of these steps, there can be no preview and so Facebook won't ask for permission no matter what.
I faced the same issue. I fixed it by doing the below mentioned two thiings.
a. Enabled 'Enhanced Auth dialog' from 'advanced' setting of the app.
b. blanked 'user and friend permissions' along with 'extended permissions' tab on 'auth dialog' page.
I am not sure what it did, but it started working.
BUT.. Even though the authentication works and the posts are reflecting on my timeline, the add-to-timeline button still shows, 'Add to Timeline'..
The other trick i used is to keep checking the app permissions under account setting tab of my profile page.
Hope this helps !
From Apps -> Settings -> Auth Dialog:
While in Open Graph Beta, the 'publish_actions' permission can only be
requested from developers and test users of your app. The
'publish_actions' permission will be ignored if requested from any
other user.
I had the Enhanced Auth Dialog enabled in the Advanced Settings, yet this did not work until I added a Aggregation Preview for the activity. Strange, but true.
Hope this helps.
The publish_actions permission appears only if the user has added timeline OR if your app is a game. I suppose it will also be available for apps when Timeline will be rolled out to all users...
