Permissions Policy

Permissions Policy controls which origins may use selected browser capabilities in a document or iframe.

Declare only the capabilities the application needs, understand inherited iframe policy, and test browser behavior. Permissions Policy is a browser control, not a server authorization boundary.

Reference (http)

Permissions-Policy: camera=(), microphone=(), geolocation=(self)

Declare only the capabilities the application needs, understand inherited iframe policy, and test browser behavior. Permissions Policy is a browser control, not a server authorization boundary.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a disabled browser capability protects a backend endpoint or copying a policy without checking iframe inheritance.
