Graph API Version

User Accounts

The Facebook Pages that a person owns or is able to perform tasks on.

Reading

Pages the User has a role on

Permissions

A Page access token for a User with a role (other than Live Contributor) on the Page and the following permissions:

  • The pages_show_list permission
  • To access accounts using a business_id or for a user who owns any business Pages, the app must be approved for the business_management permission.

Note: In order for a Page to be returned, the User must also grant the app running the query the pages_show_list permissions for that Page.

Limitations

  • It does not return pages that you are connected with through a business. To retrieve pages that you are connected with via businesses, the business_management permission is required

New Page Experience

This endpoint is supported for New Page Experience.
