for ads_read API it says "When in development mode, your app may only access ad accounts that are owned by admins of the app. This permission does not let you update, purchase, or modify ads."
Can someone clarify "owned by admins of the app". I have admin access to a business manager and admin access to ad accounts. Does this qualify? I ran a test and it appears to work but the language is confusing to me. If someone can help clarify exactly what this means and the limitations.
Thanks!

I have a Facebook developer account under which there is a live app that is using the messenger platform. I have gone through the app review process for some of the permissions that are required for the app and already have those permissions approved. Some of those permissions are pages_messaging, manage_pages, etc.
Now I want to change the app owner. I know I can do this by changing the app roles. I can add a new admin from the dashboard. Then I can change the current admin account role to either developer or tester.
My question is if I change the app admin will it impact the already approved permissions? I mean, should I have to ask for these permissions again to be approved. Or will it work as it is? The app review process is time-consuming and it would be great if I can skip doing the same things again.
Also added this question to the Facebook developers community. https://developers.facebook.com/community/threads/201102384688228/
Thank you
I am creating an app that only a specific list of users will use, and I need Instagram Public Content Access permission (and some other permissions) for them (I have my Instagram Business Account all set up and connected with Facebook page).
On https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/review/examples/#screencast there is stated:
You do not need to submit your app if it will only be used by you or
by a reduced number of people. Any account listed in the Roles tab in
your App Dashboard, such as admins, developers and testers, can access
all permissions and generate a user or page access token.
So I just want to make sure, that it is completely fine in my case to keep my app in development mode and let my users use it like this (so I don't need to submit my app for review as long as all the users are going to have their role assigned in my app), and that these permissions are not intended just for a limited time period or only for testing/development purposes.
Thank you for any answer.
What you quoted there, is applicable to permissions your app is going to ask its users to grant to it.
Instagram Public Content Access is not a permission, it is a feature. You need to get it reviewed, if you want your app to be able to access content that the users of your app do not have admin access to.

I want to use the facebook Login for a school project.
Apart from his/her public profile, I also need to get his/her likes.
The only way facebook lets you do that, is by submitting a review form in which I have to enter information that I don't know. I can't even fill out the URL of my website since I only host it locally.
Is there a way that you can access those permissions without having to submit those review forms for educational purposes?
Thanks.
It's possible to use the extended permissions even without Login Review, but only if
People listed in the Roles section of your App Dashboard - including Admins, Developers and Testers - can grant any permission without review. If only people in these Roles will use your app, you don't need to submit it for Login Review.

Hi I try to make the "publish_actions" feature of my web app approved but I cannot get it approved cause facebook approval system keeps asking me to include screenshot of working features.
However, I cannot provide such screenshot because the "publish_actions" feature is not approved yet.
How is it called? A catch 22 or an Chicken-Egg-dilema? Anyways...
Where should I start?
(I already tried with a test user and a developper account, both in live or developper mode)
Thanks to anyone that can help
You can create test users, or add users as "Testers" or above in your App's "Roles" tab in the developer area of Facebook.
If your app is interacting with a test user or any user with an assigned role in your app, it may request permissions that have not been granted yet by Facebook for public use. There's no trick or workaround; just simply request the permissions like you normally would for any other user.
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.
