Delete permission of your own app from your profile

I am testing my app, and when I had authorized my app with my user profile, I only gave it access to certain set of pages. Now I want to test different pages, but there seems to be no way to re-authorize the app.

When I request authorization again, Facebook just returns the existing authorization.

In my user profile on Facebook, Settings, App and Websites, I can see third party apps and remove them, but, I do not see any apps that I am an admin of here. How to remove your own apps permission from your profile or page?

I'm not aware of a GUI way to do it. There is a way to do it via Graph API. I'm using the dev documentation.

To revoke a specific permission you have to make call to the Graph API endpoint:

DELETE /{user-id}/permissions/{permission-name}

To completetly de-authorize an app or revoke login. You have to make call to the Graph API endpoint:

DELETE /{user-id}/permissions

Here is excerpt from the documentation :

Revoking Permissions

Apps can let people revoke permissions that were previously granted. For example, your app could have a settings page that lets someone disable publishing to Facebook. That settings page could also revoke the publish_actions permission at the same time.

You can revoke a specific permission by making a call to a Graph API endpoint:

DELETE /{user-id}/permissions/{permission-name}

This request must be made with a user access token or an app access token for the current app. If the request is successful, you will receive a response of true.

Revoking Login

You can also let people completely de-authorize an app, or revoke login, by making a call to this Graph API endpoint:

DELETE /{user-id}/permissions

This request must be made with a valid user access token or an app access token for the current app. If the request is successful, your app receives a response of true. If the call is successful, any user access token for the person will be invalidated and they will have to log in again. Because you're de-authorizing your app, they will also have to grant access to your app as if they were logging in for the first time.

Did you check out 'Expired' tab in the 'Settings > App and Websites'? Actually it should contain the rest of your apps, if some of them not presents in main ('Active') tab.

https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=applications&section=inactive

As it says:

Data Access: Expired These are apps and websites you've logged into with Facebook and may not have used in a while. They may still have access to info you previously shared, but their ability to make additional requests for private info has expired. Learn More You can still log into these apps and websites using Facebook.
