Enables your app to call the Taggable Friends API on behalf of people who are not admins, developers or testers of your app.

The Taggable Friends API returns a list of all of a person's friends (both app-using friends and non-app-using friends) who can be tagged or mentioned in stories published by your app. The API returns each friend's name, a URL to a profile picture and a tagging token that can be used to tag them in Statuses, Links, Photos, Videos or Open Graph actions.

By default, you may only call the Taggable Friends API for people who are listed in the Roles section of your app's Dashboard. This is to allow you to develop and test your integration. If you want to use the Taggable Friends API in a public version of your app, you must submit this feature for review.
