Why is Facebook not asking for permission when logging in

I have some login code using Graph API asking for manage_pages permission. But when it hits the code below, it logs in but it doesn't ask for permission to manage the users pages.

FB.login(function(r) {
    //..
}, {scope: 'user_friends, publish_actions, manage_pages'});

It asks if the user logging in is the owner of the app, but I want it to ask manage pages even if the app user is not the owner. When I test this code using Facebook's JavaScript Test Console, it works so how does the JavaScript console do it?

Most permissions need to get reviewed before they work for all users. Without review, publish_actions and manage_pages only work for users with a role in the App. I assume you are trying with a user who does not have a role in the App, so you don´t get asked for the additional permissions. It is called Login Review.

Btw, just in case you want to post to a Page "as Page": publish_actions is the wrong permission for that. As you can read in the docs, you would need publish_pages instead.
