Can't submit anything to facebook page from facebook app

I now that this question was posted couple times but my problem is a little bit different. I try to submit for example event to my Page from Application.

  1. I have private Profile on Facebook, Page and Application. Of course I'm admin of this page.
  2. First thing I did was getting page access_token, so I went to https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/ and in the URL I wrote /me/accounts/. Permission was set to manage_pages. I received access_token for my page.
  3. Having access_token I connected my Application to the Page. So I made POST request to /[PAGE_ID]/tabs/ with app_id as a parameter and setting access_token of the Page. Now it's connected, I've checked it.
  4. Now I try to submit some content by my Application. For example /[PAGE_ID]/events/ and passing parameters: name = Sample event, start_time = 2013-07-14T19:00:00-0700. And of course with the Application's access_token which I got by typing in the browser: https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=[APP_ID]&client_secret=[APP_SECRET]&grant_type=client_credentials. I got an error saying: { "error": { "type": "Exception", "message": "You must be an admin of the specified page to perform the requested action.", "code": 1373019 } } I can post to this Page as a User but can't as an Application. My Application is of two types: Facebook Login and Facebook Tab. I've set permissions to publish_action and manage_pages publish_stream create_event.

What I did wrong?

Ok I solved the problem. Maybe it can be helpful for others. I don't know for what reason are those permissions https://developers.facebook.com/apps/[APP_ID]/permissions but the only thing I had to do was going to https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/ and changing application from Graph API Explorer to my app and generating new access_token for privilages I needed. I don't know why they moved such crucial thing as permissions to the testing tool.
