Permissions Overview

Permissions in Origin OS govern what actions applications are allowed to perform. These permissions are strictly case-sensitive and must be explicitly granted. Applications in the Applications folder or designated as System Apps automatically gain access to all permissions due to their elevated trust level.

Key Notes:

• Case Sensitivity: Permissions are case-sensitive. Ensure the correct capitalisation when requesting or granting permissions.

• System Apps and Applications Folder: Applications marked as system-level or stored in the Applications folder bypass manual permission requests and are granted all permissions automatically.

• Permission Control: Fine-grained permission control is available for non-system apps.

Permissions Commands

1. Permission Request

permission "request" permission_name

Purpose: Requests a specific permission from the user. The requested permission must be named accurately (permission_name) due to case sensitivity. Example:

permission "request" "file viewer"
// creates a permission popup that the user can accept or deny

2. Give a Permission

permission "give" permission_name application_name
// allows an osl file to give another osl file a permission

Purpose: Grants a specific permission (permission_name) to the specified application (application_name). Requirements:

• The executing application must have the "permission editor" privilege to perform this action.

Accessing Application Permissions

To check the current permissions for an application, use the window.permissions variable (seen: File and code data). This will return the list of permissions that the application currently has access to.

Example Usage:

log window.permissions
// logs all the permissions that your window has, as an array

log window.parent.permissions
// allows you to see the permissions of the window that created yours

---

Checking Permissions

window.hasPermission(permission)

Checks if the window has been granted a specific permission.

// Check if we have camera permission
if window.hasPermission("camera") (
  // Start using camera
) else (
  // Request camera permission first
)

// Check if we can simulate inputs
if window.hasPermission("simulate inputs") (
  // Simulate keyboard/mouse input
)

// Example: Check multiple permissions
if window.hasPermission("notifications") and window.hasPermission("sound") (
  // Play notification sound
)

Requesting Permissions

By following these conventions, you can efficiently manage application permissions while maintaining the security and integrity of your system.
