818596 - Permissions Installer - states that a privileged app can't access wifi-manage, but permissions matrix says it should via PROMPT_ACTION

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: General, defect, P1)

Description

[Jason Smith [:jsmith]]

The permissions installer states the following:

176                            "wifi-manage": {
177                              app: DENY_ACTION,
178                              privileged: DENY_ACTION,
179                              certified: ALLOW_ACTION
180                            },

However, the permission matrix says that a privileged app can access wifi-manage via PROMPT_ACTION. Is the doc wrong or the is the code wrong?

Spoke with Gregor in IRC - all of them going his way to resolve the contention.

We won't have time to do this for v1. Fixing this will require some small changes to the API to make it asynchronous (so that we can wait with taking action until the user has acted on the prompt) as well as UI changes to implement the new prompt.

It's too late to make that happen in v1. If this is a strict product requirement, please do renominate this bug.

We'll probably want to update the doc in this case for v1.

Updated spreadsheet to reflect this decision.

Resolving since spreadsheet is now correct and no code change is needed. Reopen if you disagree.
