Facebook Developer Account Best Practices

Tags:

facebook

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?

Do I need a Facebook account for developer?

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.

What is a developer account on Facebook?

The first step in creating a Facebook app is to register a developer account. Of course, you can develop applications using your normal Facebook account, but then you risk potentially exposing your app to competitors and others while it's still under development.

How do I accept developer role on Facebook?

If notification is missing, then invited person should navigate to https://developers.facebook.com/requests/ and accept invite there. At the bottom it should say "1 developer request". Click through to that and approve the app, and you should be good to go.

Both can be simplified by using groups.
