I'm using a Facebook app (in development mode) to generate a page access token so that my personal web app can schedule/edit/delete posts on a Facebook fan page.
I'm using the Graph Explorer to generate the token while logged in as the admin of the fan page.
When I use that token, I'm able to GET a list of the scheduled posts, but whenever I try to edit or delete a post, I get this error:
"User does not have sufficient administrative permission for this action on this page."
Here is the debug of the token:
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Sounds like the user does not have the necessary admin level on the page - this is something that needs to be fixed in the page settings.

Here according to the documentation
DELETING YOUR POST
These are the permissions you need in the scope of your token.
- To delete a user's post, a user access token with publish_actions permission is required.
- To delete a Page's post a Page access token and publish_pages permission is required.
- To delete a User's post on Page a Page access token is required.
- To delete another User's post on a Page-owned event the user_managed_groups permission is required.
UPDATING YOUR POST
- A user access token with publish_actions permission.
SO you need publish_actions permission within the scope of your token.
Update 1
Also check here if you have the valid page role
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm just trying to create/delete/update Page posts, so only publish_pages is required, which I already have.

I also added publish_actions to the scope, but am still getting the same error
– jetlej

Please update the screenshot which you get after adding publish_actions plugin,would be very helpful and can you also mention the error now which you get please? thanks.

yea i think you are right,it should have definitely worked,maybe you can try to add user access token too with publish_actions permission and also add user_managed_groups permission to it
– Pritish Vaidya
Oct 17 '16 at 22:19
I have tried all of those things. If you use a user token with publish_actions, it says you need a page token. I'm getting the same error.
