Note for Developers: Mandatory Facebook User Permissions Upgrade Coming June 30th

Following Facebook’s announcement at f8 about its new data permissions model for web sites and applications, the company will be automatically upgrading its permissions interface for all developers on June 30th.

Developers who want to access more than users’ publicly available “basic information” now need to ask explicit permission to obtain each additional piece of data, instead of being able to get it all at once. The permissions interface has also been cleaned up.

The previous version had developers presenting users with a series of permissions box for certain actions like accessing to stream publishing or a user’s photos.
