Question

After looking for ways to check if a user has a given permission, I stumbled upon some obscure reference to /me/permissions, which, lo and behold, works!

For the life of me, I can’t find the documentation on the Facebook Documentation – is it deprecated, or simply undocumented?

Given how often facebook changes things, should I even be using this?

They blogged about that:

As part of our efforts to transition
functionality from legacy REST APIs to
the Graph API, we added the ability to
retrieve the list of permissions users
have granted your app by adding the
permissions connection to the User
object.

And is part of the docs on the User object, under connections.
