Facebook re-allows third-party apps to access Group API

The apps will now have to go through stricter approval process by Facebook and the Group admin to ensure they benefit the group.

These third-party apps are accessible by admins through a new in-Facebook Groups apps browser that gives the platform control over discoverability. Apps can help admins better manage the group and offer members a more personalised experience. Previously, admins had to find Group management tools outside of the platform, use their Facebook accounts to give the app a nod to to access their Group’s data.
