auto post to closed facebook group fails

[dribber]

Hi

I am trying to setup an auto post from my site to publish events to a facebook closed group automatically.

First I setup the closed group and a facebook app (type website). The app works fine for facebook connect.

Then I installed SNAP and configured the group URL and the app ID & secret.
Authenticated my user without a hitch.

But submitting a test post fails with the following error:
(#200) Insufficient permission to post to target on behalf of the viewer

I don’t get it, my user is allowed to post in the closed group.
For test purposes I created a new open group and I get the same error.

Do I need to add more permissions to the app in order to do this?
Currently only email, public_profile and user_friends are active. I did not submit the app since I only need it for login and posting, nothing else.

And since I am authenticating my own FB user I thought that should be enough.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I’m having same problem
Trying to send test post and get this:
Array
(
[Warning] =>
[Error] => Permissions error
)
Array ( [Warning] => [Error] => Permissions error )

[Evgeny]

Array ( [Warning] => [Error] => Permissions error )

Worked and stopped

Same here,

with the exact same error-message.

It just works fine for a running fb-page.
Now I wanted to change it to a fb-group (in which I am admin of course), but get this permission-error.

Do I have to set up a new fb-app for that?

Or why am I not authorized?

TY!

You need to use numeric group URL and you need to re-authorize every time you are changing the value of the Facebook URL field.

I use numeric group URL, it works for public group but close group is giving me this error:
[Error] [FB – XXX] – -=ERROR=- Array ( [Warning] => [Error] => Permissions error )

Anyone can get their SNAP post to closed group?

I have exactly the same problem. This problem started like 15 minutes ago. I only use numeric group ids and I reauthorized every sigle FB account. i can post into my group, but not into groups where I am not the admin.
