Why: You do not have the Necessary Permission for the Specified Page to Perform the Requested Action

You do not have the Necessary Permission for the Specified Page to Perform the Requested Action

Did you just receive an error message when browsing to a Facebook web page (perhaps a Facebook Fan Page), and you did nothing to invoke it? The error message is below.

 

Insufficient Permission

You do not have the necessary permission for the specified Page to perform the requested action.

 





Some have suggested online to clear your browser cache and cookies – but this does not fix error from re-appearing. From others reporting the error online, it is most likely because of Facebook releasing new beta features on pages you can’t see and otherwise would not have access too.

This continuously is coming up on Facebook for weeks now. How do I get beyond this?

I am receiving this message whenever I try to add photos to an album. Sadly Facebook did not respond to my feedback.

You do not have the necessary permission form the specified Page to preform the requested action.

Just started getting this today Feb.12,2020 I do not use an APP cell phone or otherwise. running 8.1.
Cleared cache did nothing.
I CANNOT HIDE or delete any posts. LIKE clutter/trash, just staying there.

amymore suggestions??? Quitting FB seems like a good option.

Today I started receiving this message when I try to hide a post to my page or untag myself from a post. "INSUFFICIENT PERMISSION. YOU DO NOT HAVE THE NECESSARY PERMISSION FOR THE SPECIFIED PAGE TO PERFORM THE REQUESTED ACTION. This has never occurred before and I would like to have this fixed. In the meantime I went into settings and enabled review of posts ... but would far prefer a fix to this message. ... Thanks, Dr. Stepp

Even though I get this message, It still hides the specific post.
Which makes it even weirder.

This message keeps coming up on EVERY post I try to hide or share!! WHY?? I did not have this problem last time I logged in at 8am this morning (now it is 5pm central time).
So what is going on and how do I fix it?? Or is this some kind of a scam??
