Facebook Login - No Friends List Required

Question

Currently, I am only viewing email on my Facebook login link.

$params = array( 'redirect_uri' => $redirect_url, 'scope' => 'email' ); 

But Facebook says the user provides access to their friends list. Users will not be logged in due to this requirement.

Does anyone know how to disable it?

Answer 1

This is the expected behavior. By providing access to your application (even without specifying any permissions), some information is already available for your application.

Check out the documentation pages for basic permissions granted to the application:

A general profile and a list of friends are the basic information available to the application. All other permissions and contents must be explicitly set for.

When a user enters your application and you do not request any additional permissions, the application will have access only to the user profile and friend. By default, a public profile includes the following properties:

• ID
• name
• first_name
• last_name
• link
• Username
• floor
• locale
• age_range
• Other publicly available information

It is impossible to disable it, and each application that you install will display this warning / warning (which you give the application access to this data).
