Why does Facebook's Open Graph protocol require an fb:admins or fb:app_id .. and what is the importance of this property?

Viewed 11801

I'm playing around with adding some Facebook Open Graph meta tags to my web site, to help with Facebook sharing of my website content.

One of the tags is this:

fb:admins or fb:app_id

A comma-separated list of either Facebook user IDs or a Facebook Platform application ID that administers this page. It is valid to include both fb:admins and fb:app_id on your page.

Questions:

  • What is the importance of this property?
  • Administers what page?
  • Why do we need to administer some page?
