Facebook Introduced a new feature called "Page Assistant" back in September/October (I'm not sure when they introduced the feature)
PAGE ASSISTANT: As seen on many websites the Page Assistant bot helps page admin to manage their Page and get better results on Facebook.

As the feature is new I thought about giving it a shot.But unfortunately, Page Assistant Bot was not available on my page :| So what I did is created a test account using VPN and got that feature on my newly created page 😀 While testing, I noticed that the Page Assistant page was only accessible for Page Admins.Meaning that only Page Admins can turn on/off Page Assistant.Why not try to do the same having read only(Analyst) role on the page?Demoted my accounts role to Analyst and repeated the request.Guess what?It worked.So, I thought about toggling the feature having no role on the page.When toggling a POST Request like below is sent:

Changed the page_id value to a page in which I don't have any role and it worked 😄
Impact:A user having no role on page can turn on/off Page Assistant.
