I just got approved of user_link permission in facebook (From App Review) but I am not seeing it in my Approved Items.
It says in the docs that No Additional Requirements for user_link is needed so I assumed that even without Business/Individual Verification, I can already use the permission in my app.
Is that not how it works?
EDIT: (added screenshots)
My Permissions and Features
Permissions and Features tab
I got this permission after getting the Business Verification.

I'm working on a notification web-app that has a Post-to-Facebook feature. Until the (Graph) API v2.0, it worked great. A user would authenticate with their Facebook account, put their token into our app, and we'd use that to make posts to their wall/page for them when a new notification was sent.
We have applied for the permissions we need to use on Facebook's new API (publish_pages, publish_actions, manage_pages). We received a notice that our application was rejected, so we re-worded the same application for permissions to try to clarify what we use the permissions for, resubmitted it, but have been rejected again.
An app that does almost exactly the same thing we hope to do was granted these permissions (we know, because we both work with- and compete with- that app). Until we found out that that app can still publish posts to Facebook, we believed that all requests to repost/automatically post on users' behalfs were being denied because of a Facebook policy change.
We can't figure out who to contact or where to appeal the denial of these permissions. This probably isn't the right forum (since this isn't specifically a technical question about the API), but I can't see where to take this issue next.
Did you have a look at the Login Review FAQs:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/review/faqs
or otherwise refer to

I have an app & user_status permission is obtained from facebook after its submitted for review. I can get the v2.2/me?fields=statuses data for the App's admin. No other fb accounts are able to get this data. When I login with facebook from my portal, the permissions requested are not shown to the users.
Is the issue related to FB API. I can use the obtained permissions only for the App's admin alone?
Is this issue related to not obtaining consent from the account while logging in from my portal. If yes, what is the method to get this done.
Anyone kindly help me regarding this.
It's all in the docs:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/review/login#do-you-need-review
...your app's developers will be able to see, and grant, any permission without requiring review by Facebook.
and
People who are listed in your app's Roles tab will have access to extended permissions without going through review (e.g. publish_actions or manage_pages). For example, if you use the Facebook Plugin for Wordpress to publish your blog posts to your Facebook Page or Profile, you do not need to submit for review so long as all your publishers are listed in your app's Roles tab.
Is there a way for me to test permissions that are not yet granted to my app by Facebook like the "user_status" permission? I need to test "user_status" for a future app that is not yet in develop since I need to prove that what the client wants is possible.
As long as you are testing with an app admin/tester/developer, everything should work, even if the app didn't pass the facebook Review yet.
See
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/review/login#do-you-need-review
However, in order to help you craft your Facebook Login experience, your app's developers will be able to see, and grant, any permission without requiring review by Facebook.
Note: People who are listed in your app's Roles tab will have access to extended permissions without going through review (e.g. publish_actions or manage_pages). For example, if you use the Facebook Plugin for Wordpress to publish your blog posts to your Facebook Page or Profile, you do not need to submit for review so long as all your publishers are listed in your app's Roles tab.
Also, if you're the developer of an app and are the only person using it, then your app doesn't need to go through review. Since you're the developer, all app capabilities should be available. You will still need to take your app out of developer mode, but you should be able to do that without going through review.
Since I created a new (Facebook) App last week, I get an OAuthException whenever I want to comment on a post.
"(OAuthException) (#200) You do not have sufficient to permissions to perform this action".
With the old App, my application works fine.
Now I found out that Facebook has changed the login policy recently. I also found the following remark on https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions/v2.0:
"If your app asks for more than than public_profile, email and user_friends it will require review by Facebook before your app can be used by people other than the app's developers".
So if I post with the same account with which I created the App, it should work, right? Only it doesn't...
Remark: if I use the new App with another Facebook-account, I have even less permissions (e.g. cannot access the account's pages). So I have more permissions if I use the same account, but still I cannot post!
I use Graph API via .NET Facebook-Client; my App is a native app (desktop app).
Could someone please tell me how to post with a new App? This is the main use-case of our application! Thank you very much!
Here is a screenshot of what I see instead of the login-screen when I use extended permission "publish_action" instead of "publish_stream"
You must be able to post with your own account since you are the admin of the application. - since only the admins/developers/testers will be able to test the app with the publishing functionality before it gets approved by facebook.
If you still are not able to, you must have not granted the permissions to the app. Things to check-
You are using publish_actions and not publish_stream
Check in your application settings whether or not you can see the publishing permission is granted for that app.
If not granted, go through the login process again and grant the publishing permission (may be by removing the app from settings and then authorizing again OR logout the app and then login again with publish_actions)
Problem solved - it was a stupid typo: I wrote publish_action instead of publish_actions (should be plural)! Thanks again to CBroe who pointed it out in this thread!
The problem with my application is when I test the application as a developer, it ask asks for publish actions permission as it should but when other users go to my application it doesn't ask for publish_actions permission from them.
I added the publish_actions permission in application setting, but it's not working. I also tried to include the publish_actions permission in the configuration file, but it didn't work either.
While Facebook is never 100% clear about how their API works, and this can be a major source of frustration, I would guess that the issue is that the app will need to be approved before anyone but the developer can accept the publish_actions permission for it.
