Application Access Control Changelog

cl.accessToken.1 Change of the Media and Files Permission Group

The original Media and File permission group contains the following permissions:

  • ohos.permission.MEDIA_LOCATION

  • ohos.permission.READ_MEDIA

  • ohos.permission.WRITE_MEDIA

Changed the permission group as follows:

  • Moved ohos.permission.MEDIA_LOCATION to the Images and Videos permission group.

  • Moved ohos.permission.READ_MEDIA and ohos.permission.WRITE_MEDIA to the Documents permission group.

Change Impact

The permission group rather than the permission is presented in the dialog box for requesting permissions.

  • Before the change, if the three permissions are applied for an application, a dialog box for requesting the media and file permissions will be displayed only once.

  • After the change, if the three permissions are applied for an application, a dialog box for requesting the Images and Videos permissions and a dialog box for requesting the Documents permission will be displayed.
