Example

MessengerExtensions.getGrantedPermissions(function (permissions_response) {
  let permission = permissions_response.permissions // list of permissions granted
}, function() {
  // An error occurred
});

permission_response Object

The permission_response object is passed to the success callback.

{
  "permissions":[
    "user_profile",
    "user_messaging"
  ]
}
