Facebook's permissions scopes have never been that granular - if you get approved for a permission it's generally access to create, edit, view, and delete all in one.
It's a little hard to cite now - most of the user-level permissions are gone, or are behind a "This permission is restricted to a limited set of partners and usage requires prior approval by Facebook" restriction.
They've clamped down repeatedly on how much data comes out of the API - you used to get full info on friends, then just their names and IDs, then that list wound up filtered to just other friends who'd authorized the same app.
