Adding a Facebook app administrator who is not a friend

Question

Having searched through this section many times, I am struggling to find an answer to what I thought would be simple:

Having created an app, I cannot add other facebook verified developer accounts as administrators of the app without first friending them.

This is a professional app (we are using it to provide login through Facebook services), and I cannot find a way to add other colleagues without making them into facebook friends.

I have tried:

Roles > Administrators > Add:

• Email address
• UID
• Link to Profile URI
• Name search

I either get back nothing, or a notice that the user is not a facebook user (though they patently are, I can add them as a friend after all).

Answer 1

Did you check with the user to see if they got the notification? (e.g. you should receive a request from me)

This is how a pending request looks.

Answer 2

1) You must acess the apps via: https://developers.facebook.com/apps and select your app. The UI has recently been updated:

2) If the user is not your friend you must add them using facebook User Id otherwise it will not work.

This can be obtained via http://findmyfacebookid.com/ which wil turn thier profile url into an id.

3) The user must also have verified their account. However it will tell you this when you try to add them.

4) They will then receive a request which they must accept.
