Permissions List:

IMPORTANT! PERMISSIONS ARE CASE SENSITIVE

All Permissions Information

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

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

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