I am creating site from site template and I am given direct permission out of groups. How to remove my direct permission after adding me in site owner group?

I have been struggling to figure out what is happening about my new BE user. I have created a back-end User and give the proper permission (News administration module only) and also the ns_news_comments.
I can create News content, edit, and so on... however when the news receives a new comment to approval the backend user cannot change the News anymore. If I change the BE to Admin, it will work fine. I have already granted permission to the entire root tree.
Any thoughts?
I need to grant a user's account view access directly to a folder by calling the REST API.
The user does not exist on the site, I did google but in many examples I've seen it seems that the users belong to the site already.
Do I have to add the user to the site or to a SharePoint group first?
The Facebook API documentation doesn't clearly state if it's possible to read a secret or closed group feed that the user is a member of, and I didn't succeed no matter the permissions asked. It works with owned groups though (and the user_managed_groups permission).
Permissions
Any valid access token for a public group (i.e. the group's privacy
setting is OPEN).
A user access token for a member of the group.
The user_managed_groups permission can be used to read the group content
for a group in which the user is an admin. This permission also allows
the app to post as the user in the group if the app is also granted
the publish_actions permission.
An app access token can read posts it published in app and game groups that belong to it.
Does anybody succeeded reading a secret or closed Facebook group feed with the API?
The user_managed_groups permission can be used to read the group content for a group in which the user is an admin
As long as the user is admin, it should work. Afaik it does not work if you are just a member.
I'm interested in reading the posts in a private group that I'm a part of on Facebook.
Facebook's documentation shows that you can access a facebook group's feed with the following URL:
GET /v2.4/{group-id}/feed
However even after generating an access token with all permissions, this query always returns an empty array (and I know the group in question has posts in it):
{ data: [] }
One answer I have found suggests that this is because you need an access token for a user that is an administrator for the group.
Is this true? If so/otherwise, is there any way to access a facebook group's feed without admin access to the group?
Considering normal users have access to the group's feed, I would certainly expect there to be a way to do this.
The docs at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.4/group/feed say:
Permissions
Any valid access token for a public group (i.e. the group's privacy setting is OPEN).
A user access token for a member of the group.
The user_managed_groups permission can be used to read the group content for a group in which the user is an admin. This permission also allows the app to post as the user in the group if the app is also granted the publish_actions permission. An app granted this permission can continue to use these capabilities even if the user stops being an admin of the group, although the user can remove the app from the group manually.
An app access token can read posts it published in app and game groups that belong to it.
Also, have a look at the changelog at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog#v2_4
the user_groups permission has been deprecated. Developers may continue to use the user_managed_groups permission to access the groups a person is the administrator of. This information is still accessed via the /v2.4/{user_id}/groups edge which is still available in v2.4.
So, if you're using v2.4 and the group is private, and you're not an admin of the group, I think you cannot access the group's feed.
I want to create and manage a group through the Facebook API. There are some older messages here (more than a year old) that say it can't be done -- is that still the case? Has anyone managed to do it?
I'm trying to mark groups' statuses as 'read' (so the unread count in the groups json via the Graph API goes down to 0). From what I can tell, to do anything with groups, you need a manage_groups permission, however using their OAuth for the Graph API, and trying to include the manage_groups permission returns an error suggestion the permission does not exist. Looks like a catch-22 for now.

It looks like user_groups is the permission your looking for.
Any valid access token if the group is public (i.e. the group's privacy setting is OPEN)
"user_groups" permission to retrieve any groups that the session user is a member of.
The "user_managed_groups" permission can be used to read the group content for a group in which the user is an admin. This permission also allows the app to post as the user in the group if the app is also granted the "publish_actions" permission. An app granted this permission can continue to use these capabilities even if the user stops being an admin of the group, although the user can remove the app from the group manually.
