What is access token in Facebook API?

An access token is an opaque string that identifies a user, app, or Page and can be used by the app to make graph API calls. When someone connects with an app using Facebook Login and approves the request for permissions, the app obtains an access token that provides temporary, secure access to Facebook APIs.

You can access the user and friends permissions. There is a specific user_groups permission. Generally the way Facebook authentication works is that the authenticating user will allow your application or (website) access to what they themselves have access to. So if a user is a member of a particular group and allows your application to connect through the user_groups permission, then your application will have access to this group to.
