I have an app that allows users of a (basically)WordPress site to share their posts to their Facebook business page (not user feed). Everything works great, I just have to submit the app to FB for review because I need the manage_pages and publish_pages permissions. How do I allow the Facebook reviewer to test this functionality when they need to have permissions attached to a FB page to be able to share a post to it?
I have created a login on my site for the reviewer. I have also created a test user on the app that the FB reviewer will be able to use, and I have used that test user to created a test page but the page is not accessible by my app or by any other user. The test page is set to Public. As I understand from what I've read in the FB docs, content by a test user (I'm assuming an FB business page qualifies as "content") is only visible to other test users. How can I set this up for FB to be able to review this?
As pointed out by CBroe, Facebook testers have their own pages with which to test permissions like this. I was over-worrying.

We are trying to configure webhooks for one of Facebook page we are managing.
To use webhooks product in our app, we need manage_pages permission.
So, we have created the screencast & submitted for review.
It is being repeatedly rejected saying, 'Please show the Facebook pages managed by your website on your website'
Ours is a server-to-server app. We don't have a website through which we manage this page. We manage that page by logging in to Facebook directly via https://www.facebook.com
How can we get this kind of app (which uses manage_pages permission for webhooks only) reviewed? What are we missing? Can somebody help?
I want to integrate a Facebook page to ServiceNow.
I created a page with my personal account and an app on developers.facebook.com to extend my access token for 60 days. I made the REST connection successfully and was able to pull the posts and comments on that page into the database of the ServiceNow table.
Subsequently, my profile was blocked for a couple of days and I was informed the app that I made was violating certain Facebook policies. But after submitting the ID, it got reactivated. Then I made some test users so that I could comment on any post of that page to check if that comes into the ITSM database.
However, when I login through a test user, I cannot see the Facebook page associated with my personal Facebook profile.
I need to know how can I see posts of my page through a test user and comment on them. Do I need to provide any specific role to the test user for the same?
I have one Facebook App that I only use to authenticate users on a website, get their names and profile pictures.
I also have a Facebook Page related to that same website.
My personal profile is administrator of both the App and the Page. Also the Page is registered as "App Page" in the advanced settings of the App.
I want to publish on the Page from a server using the Graph API and the credentials of the App without the need to ask for extended permissions such as manage_pages or publish_pages from my users because I don't need them (see point 1). I don't want to publish on their page, only on mine.
How do I make my App "administrator" of my Page so that no additional permission is required for the App to publish on behalve of the Page?
I know a quick and dirty solution would be to create another App that would be just used as a gateway between my profile and the Page (I would be the only user of the App, granting all the required permissions). But I would like to avoid having two different Apps.
If you want to publish "as Page" on your Page, you need to authorize your Facebook account with manage_pages and publish_pages and get a Page Token. That is the only way.
You can use an Extended Page Token and store it:

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.
I created an app for my clients. They uses this app from their website to post on their Facebook Page (and as the Facebook Page).
they use a Facebook Login button to connect to Facebook (with an account that can publish post on the page) from their website,
they complete a form
when the form is submitted, an article is created on the website AND a post is created on the FaceBook Page.
I ask for publish_action permission and manage_page permission when the user connects.
Those permissions need a review from Facebook, so I ask for it but the FB team says that I "only need those permissions when I use a public-facing Login". Is that not the case?
Currently, my app only work when I connect with the account that created the app.
You do need those permissions, but if the App is for your client only you don´t need to get them reviewed. Just add your client as Admin, Developer or Tester of your App and the permissions will work for him without review.
