1st Facebook Bug Bounty | Disclose page’s admin to mod/admin of group
Story
The cause of issue is that Facebook has unnecessary priority for page’s admin/mod. They can join the group without confirmation from group’s admin. I may not fully understand the issue, but fortunately I still get my first valid report.

If a user is added by PageX but UserC are not notified (PageX auto accept UserB to join). It is a member of the Page’s admin group (UserB).
More detail after Facebook closed report as Informative
Hello, it seems you are misunderstanding the problem I want to report here. With the setting that only admin can accept members to join group, combined with the page’s admin will automatically join the group, then, if an user doesn’t need admin accept (no notification) but still have group access. We can confirm that it is an admin of the page.
I have taken a video to better describe the report.
UserB needs to incorporate “Activity Log” and “Member Requets” to be able to detect who is page’s admin.
