In the documentation we see the roles associated with a user in relation with a page: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/page/
The roles are referenced as "Full Admin", "Content Creator" and so on. Looking at the actual results from the API, we see that there's a difference.
{
[...]
"perms": [
"ADMINISTER",
"EDIT_PROFILE",
"CREATE_CONTENT",
"MODERATE_CONTENT",
"CREATE_ADS",
"BASIC_ADMIN"
]
}
The wording is different (ADMINISTER, EDIT_PROFILE...) and we do not get the roles, but more the permissions associated with the roles.
This could be ok (it's not that complex to figure all that out), but are we certain that these roles are not going to change? There is no documentation as far as I know, so does that mean that this is not final?
