How do I post an Open Graph action to a Facebook page?

Question

With timelines rolling out to Fan and Business pages, I would like to be able to publish actions to our Business page timeline. I can't figure out how to do that. Any guidance?

When I try to post to the page (with an unapproved og action), I get:

{"error":{"message":"(#100) The Action Type ACTION_TYPE is not approved, so app APP_NAME_SPACE can only publish to administrators, developers, and testers of the app. User PAGE_ID is not one of those roles.","type":"OAuthException","code":100}

Answer 1

You cannot post an OG action to a page

Actions are defined through the App Dashboard. Once an application has defined the types of actions that it publishes, the application can invoke the Graph API to publish action instances to Open Graph -- this connects the current user with an appropriate object instance via the action

There is no documentation on saying it's not possible because documentation usually shows what is possible. Listing all the negatives of a feature isn't something I think Facebook does.
