I'm the admin of a few Facebook groups and I would like to know how I could do the following:
I would like to know how I could search the current and pending members in the group to see if their name matches with names on a text file of blacklisted members that I have?
There is no way to do this with Facebook itself unless there are ways with Developer access?
It is also impossible to see all the members easily as they have no list mode, only large thumbnails are shown next to each name which makes it difficult to try to copy and paste the names to another text file.

I've been working on a project that allows users in our domain to edit 3 Active Directory Attributes on their own Object, this has been written in Python and the only issue I have now is user permissions on these attributes.
Two of these are custom, the third is the Location(physicalOfficeDeliveryAddress).
I have looked everywhere and only found documentation on how to give permission for users in a group for these attributes but for ALL users or limited by group.
I'm looking to apply the permission under the Identity Reference: NT AUTHORITY\SELF so that users may only edit their own attributes.
In less words, I'm looking to write a script that will delegate permissions for three specific attributes to ALL users in the domain but only for themselves(NT AUTH\SELF).
I have a loop that will perform it for each user, I just have hit a brick wall in what to include in the loop..
Any help would be appreciated.
NT AUTHORITY\SELF is one of Windows' well-known SIDs, with a SID of S-1-5-10.
So you do it the same way you would for any other account, but grant the permissions to S-1-5-10 instead.
If you show us the code you're working with, we might be able to help you with where to plug in that value, if you need.
I am currently building a site for a University study that aims to encourage a select few young people (peer supporters) to share messages around health and wellbeing in a private Facebook group.
I have used the Feed/Share dialog to share relevant links/images, however there are a few bits of content that are just pure text. I am aware that Facebook allows to post a status to a group using the Graph API, however you are not allowed to pre-fill what a user is going to say.
Would it be possible to have the ability to generate the content in a text box allowing the users to edit it as they wish before posting to the group or is this still prohibited?
...allowing the users to edit it as they wish...
No, that is not allowed, it´s prefilling. You would only be allowed to present an EMPTY textbox, where users can write the message. The message always must be 100% user generated.
It appears there was a big update to the facebook api a year ago and a lot of the info online is inaccurate because of it. I'm trying to create a website that provides additional function for members of a specific facebook group; if a user is not part of a specific group I don't want them in it. Some groups may have more than 5k users but if I have to settle for less, so be it. I'm using the php sdk and have successfully made an initial api call with general user information.
Administrators of the group WILL be able to log in, but apparently Facebook isn't approving the "user_groups" permission (?) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31171082/check-if-user-is-a-member-of-a-specific-group-using-facebooks-javascript-sdk
I found this but I'm not sure how to make it work. Facebook Graph - Possible To Check If A User Is A Member Of A Group w/o user_groups?
I'm using the graph api explorer and I can get a partial list of the groups I'm in but it's nowhere near complete (it displays 4 out of like 20). My thought was that if I can get a full list of members in a group that I could just do an [if user is in userlist then]
What would you do here?
As far as I understand there is no way to do this without some caveat where it won't work (when you have more then 5k members). It also causes you to create a copy of the members list, instead of when a user wants to access the group.
I manage a closed group at Facebook which has around 770 members. Now we are in the process to remove the spammers from the group, who originally don't belong to the group.
I was thinking of using email id as the identifier to remove unwanted people from the group. First of all, how can I use emails to automatically remove unwanted users from the group. How tough is it and what technical expertise will I require. Secondly, is email a good identifier or should I use something else?
I am using the Facebook Graph API and Facebook Connect to make an authentication system in Wordpress. The Connect part goes all ok, the Facebook Graph goes ok as well.
But: How do I fetch the Facebook Alternate Name? I searched the docs at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/user/, but found no trace of it. Any ideas?
The main idea is that privacy is a concern, and the system goes better nickname based than just last name based. If the Alternate Name is empty I just ask the user to enter a nickname.
I think that it is not exposed yet, when i was looking for this, i made a work around...
I know that if you use the search_tokens field at user table, the array will have the alternate name... If you have luck, the array will contain the first, middle, last, and the alternative name, so, compare the arrays to the names, and exclude the know names, the other one is the alternative name....
