I'm using a Facebook app (in development mode) to generate a page access token so that my personal web app can schedule/edit/delete posts on a Facebook fan page.

I'm using the Graph Explorer to generate the token while logged in as the admin of the fan page.

When I use that token, I'm able to GET a list of the scheduled posts, but whenever I try to edit or delete a post, I get this error:

"User does not have sufficient administrative permission for this action on this page."

Here is the debug of the token:

Any ideas on how to fix this?

This question has answers that may be good or bad; the system has marked it active so that they can be reviewed.

Sounds like the user does not have the necessary admin level on the page - this is something that needs to be fixed in the page settings.

I am the admin of the page. I can manually create, edit and delete scheduled posts within Facebook.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm just trying to create/delete/update Page posts, so only publish_pages is required, which I already have.
– jetlej
Oct 17 '16 at 15:50

I also added publish_actions to the scope, but am still getting the same error

Please update the screenshot which you get after adding publish_actions plugin,would be very helpful and can you also mention the error now which you get please? thanks.

Oct 17 '16 at 19:29

yea i think you are right,it should have definitely worked,maybe you can try to add user access token too with publish_actions permission and also add user_managed_groups permission to it

Oct 17 '16 at 22:19

I have tried all of those things. If you use a user token with publish_actions, it says you need a page token. I'm getting the same error.
