Facebook Graph API error: Application must be whitelisted or users must be testers

Question

Applications can invite users to a group by issuing a POST request to /GROUP_ID/members/USER_ID with an app access_token.

When I do this with a user who is a tester everything works fine. If I try this with a non tester i get the error message:

(#3) Application must be whitelisted or users must be testers.

Anyone an idea what this means? I cannot find this error message anywhere.

Answer 1

I think your application is proably in sandbox mode. Try to change this in app settings, i think this would help.

Answer 2

Is your app a game? Is the group you're trying to add to owned by your app?

Check the App And Game Groups documentation - the docs mention restrictions on use of the API that you may not be aware of

{edit} you said your app isn't a game - see this note from the top of the docs:

While in beta, only games that are in the App Center will have Game Groups enabled. For development purposes, the Game Groups API will work for application admins, developers, testers and test users.
