Using the Roles dashboard, I can create Facebook test user accounts but when trying to make them friends with each other via ticking appropriate accounts and then the 'make friends' button seems to do absolutely nothing.
I have then tried to make these accounts friends via the api call:
https://graph.facebook.com/{test user id 1}/friends/{test user id 2}?method=post&access_token={test user 1 access token}
This results in an OAuth Exception being returned:
{"error":{"message":"Error validating application.","type":"OAuthException"}}
This feature has worked previously for me (clicking the make friends button). Has anyone got any ideas on how to resolve this problem?
Apparently this was a bug, you can now go in via the modify roles menu in the application and select users to 'make friends'. This functionality is still pretty buggy but it does work eventually.
There is ui for it now which is helpful, the only bummer is that I also get the same OAuth exception as the original poster. It'd be nice to be able to do this with an API.
Now Facebook Resolve this from their End. Any developer can manually create a friend list for test user from developer console.
Follow the Below Steps:
Step-1: Login in Your developer console and click on you app project.
Click on Link to login: Facebook Developer Account Link
Step-2: Inside their you can see Roles click on their and then click on Test Users
See Below attached Images:
Step-3: Now click on Add to create number of test user. One Popup is display which you can see in below images. At their you have to mention test user permission which you want to perform.
For example, If you want to fetch list of test user friends then you need user_friends permission.
To get more link about Facebook permission/scope visit Facebook Permission Page
Step-4: Here in below image you can see list of test user which you created using step-3. Now you can click on Edit to add those other test user as friend of one another. for that you to click in Manage this test user friends and add other test user name in popup dialog.
Similarly you can also assign permission or remove test user once as per your requirement. This is it.

I am currently using a test user (created the facebook devs panel), to set up a fb page, that i need to link to another Instagram Business page.
I already created a fake ig business account using this test user. The proble is that every time i go to the fb business panel to link the other ig account i get this this error.
I need this because i have to go throw the App Review in order to get the permissions that i need for my app, in order to get aproved facebook tells you to record yourself with a test user doing all the app process. But i can´t do this if the test user doesnt have a IG Business account linked to it.
When you're trying to apply for Facebook Permissions for your application, you may encounter some permissions that requires App Review. In my case, I need to use the Facebook Login for Business Accounts, so I need to apply for Facebook's App Review.
In order to make an App Review for Facebook, you will need to provide step-by-steps videos and guides for Facebook testers to test for themselves. However, it does requires a Test User to do this.
A Test User can have a Test Page linked to it, and a Test Page is capable to link an Instagram Account created using this Test User. However, for some reason, I'm not able to convert this created Instagram Account as a Business Instagram Account using the Test User. I tried to link it using my application flow, but the "Convert to Business Profile" button does nothing, and if I try to do this in the Facebook Test Page account, the form that ask for Contact Information always throws a message "An Error Ocurred".
So, I'm unable to create an Instagram Business for testing and also not allowed to provide a real account because they don't allow this, as they explicitly says (Which I can agree with):
Note: Do not provide your personal Facebook account credentials.
As I'm unable to find a way around this, and I can't see to find any answer on the internet... I wonder if somebody could help with this one.
So, it seems it's just a Facebook bug (Just as one I was experiencing before this one, where after updating a Test Account permissions, the permissions were still not working properly) where the Test Account seems to be kind of locked in a state were you can basically do nothing more with it than what you have already done... So I end up creating a new Test Account and doing the same process, but this time it worked.
I had the same problem, and to fix it, I had to follow these steps :
Create a Facebook test user for your app.
Once the user has been created, click the three dots at the right, then edit its password, choose something that you will remember.
login as this test user.
Edit the user parameters and set its email address as main/default contact address (you need to type in the password of the user). It seems, by default, test user do not have default contact and this is required to login with instagram.
Now go to instagram.com, and create a new account using "login with facebook"
Fill in the name, password (you need to remember it), and userid.
Send the form, and you will get some error telling you to retry later. Ignore it, your account should actually be created.
Now switch to the instagram mobile app (web interface might not work, I was stuck in a redirect loop) so you can login to instagram using the email address of the facebook test user account (the one you used in point 4) and the IG password (you typed in point 6).
Hope it helps anyone stuck in this hell like I was for 2 days.
Having searched through this section many times, I am struggling to find an answer to what I thought would be simple:
Having created an app, I cannot add other facebook verified developer accounts as administrators of the app without first friending them.
This is a professional app (we are using it to provide login through Facebook services), and I cannot find a way to add other colleagues without making them into facebook friends.
I have tried:
Roles > Administrators > Add:
Email address
UID
Link to Profile URI
Name search
I either get back nothing, or a notice that the user is not a facebook user (though they patently are, I can add them as a friend after all).
1) You must acess the apps via: https://developers.facebook.com/apps and select your app. The UI has recently been updated:
2) If the user is not your friend you must add them using facebook User Id otherwise it will not work.
This can be obtained via http://findmyfacebookid.com/ which wil turn thier profile url into an id.
3) The user must also have verified their account. However it will tell you this when you try to add them.
4) They will then receive a request which they must accept.
Did you check with the user to see if they got the notification? (e.g. you should receive a request from me)
This is how a pending request looks.
In work I got a task (we MUST work with ASP Classic by the way): when user posts a blog, a link to that blog should be posted automatically on user's facebook timeline and in his twitter. I made everything working, but there is one problem: user needs to be signed in to post. I've made the cheking if he's logged in, and if not he must log in.
But I need to avoid the logging-in step and make it automatic (by sending user's username and password as part of the data sent to twitter/facebook or something like that), but I can't figure out how to do that or if it's even possible at all.
Any ideas? Would greatly appreciate any help.
P.S.: for the twitter part I used http://scottdesapio.com/VBScriptOAuth/
for the facebook part I used a combination of: http://snipplr.com/view/61108/facebook-app-login--authorization-entirely-clientside/
Everything works, but is it possible to automatize the user's sign-in part?
Finally I managed to make the both things automated...
The problem with Twitter was that I didn't store request token in session, that's why I got "Could not authenticate you" error.
Can't remember what I did wrong with Facebook (some co-workers helped me out), but I guess I didn't make proper http requests...
So the answer is: yes, it is possible to automatically post to Twitter and Facebook without user sign in.
If I am not wrong then your logged in user in facebook for current browser is not authorize for your app.
I think you should try googling about "How to authorize users into app". OR
If you don't mind I am giving you the direct URL to go to that setting page for your app:
https://developers.facebook.com/apps and then go to your app then after from left side bar go to roles and then after click on test user tab from top of page and then click on add button it will opne one pop-up to add a user.
In app you have to add test user for testing purpose and have to login for that added test user, so added user will be authorize for that app and you will be able to test.
Thank you...
Suppose I have a website that wants to access a Facebook's user account information. Usually, the user is presented with all the permissions the website is asking for, and can either allow or deny them as a whole.
Is it possible to let the user choose (with checkboxes on each permission on the authorization screen, for example) which permissions he wants to give the website?
This would be possible but it would need to be done in two stages.
Firstly you would have to present the user with your own dialog where they can choose their prefered permissions.
Secondly you would have to authorise the user with the selected permissions via a Facebook dialog.
If you're looking for an example the Facebook Graph Explorer already does this:
http://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/
The bigger issue would be keeping track of the users available permissions and reacting according.
unfortunatly not out of the box. (but this could be changed sometime in the future, as FB displays a required next to the rights if you look on the rights you give to an app)
I used to ask the required prems, and let the user add optional perms via a click, which again opens the perm dialog but only with the perms the user not already give to the site.
for an example. user sign in form, beside the "Hometown" field i have a button "Fill from facebook" if user hasn'T given me that right to access user_hometown i call for the right and fill the form.
see this post for a good explanation on the why and how:
