Adding a Facebook app administrator who is not a friend

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).

Solution

  • 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.
