Remarks

The scope that are used when authenticating to Facebook give your App access to request additional information that may be required for certain tables. Individual scope may be entered in a comma separated list. Leaving it blank will use the defaults. The Scope is only used if you have specified your own OAuthClientId and OAuthClientSecret.

Requesting Additional Permissions

You may find while using the cmdlet that Facebook returns an error stating your app does not have permissions to do a certain action. To resolve this, you will need to generate a new OAuth access token with the required scope. Set the Scope property in the authentication step for a desktop application. You can find a list of available Facebook scopes here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/permissions/. Permissions that may be required depending on your use case are:

user_birthday, user_photos, user_videos, user_likes, user_hometown, user_location, read_insights, pages_manage_metadata, pages_read_engagement, pages_read_user_content, pages_messaging, business_management, instagram_basic, instagram_manage_insights
