Facebook Developer Account Best Practices


At my company we need to create a Facebook Developer account, but it doesn't look like we're able to do that without providing the details for an actual individual account (i.e. my personal account or that of another employee). Using a personal account doesn't make much sense (what if the person leaves the company? What if the account holder doesn't want other developers having access to their personal account? etc.) and while I know that the supreme court thinks that corporations are people it feels strange to create a fake account to associate with the company.

What do people generally do in this circumstance?


Solution

  • Only personal accounts can be Facebook developers. Every developer should get their personal account verified, and then be added as a developer or admin for your app.

    If someone leaves your company, you simply delete them from the app admins/developers.

    Both can be simplified by using groups.
