Is it possible to get origin facebook id from facebook app scope id?

I have 2 apps that shares the same database, so that user only need to sign up in one app in order to login both. This was working until facebook update their api from 1.0 to 2.0. Now, each user will have different fb scope id in each of them. I can't use fb id reference to the same user obj anymore.

You will not be able to get the global user id. But there are other methods to be able to know. And it is all described at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/for-business
