Elaborate on application permissions

Open savchenko opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

I've just read an insightful conversation at https://github.com/tchx84/Flatseal/issues/196. Perhaps including some of it at Flatpak docs or even at project's homepage would help users to have better understanding of how the app. permissions work within Flatpak framework.

Especially this comment: https://github.com/tchx84/Flatseal/issues/196#issuecomment-731740425

@Arxcis, @tchx84, are you OK with this idea?

Sure, if it is helpful to anyone, you are free to share my comment👍😀 Also you are totally free to modify it, as I am not a native english speaker/writer, and not a Flatpak expert.

Also I would like to highlight Alex Larsson's excellent writeup on the topic https://blogs.gnome.org/alexl/2017/01/24/the-flatpak-security-model-part-3-the-long-game/, which imho should be considered part of Flatpak docs.

OK, if we begin looking at external sources, perhaps drafting a response to https://flatkill.org/ would be a good start?

Hehe, yes, good idea 😁 flatkill.org needs a response.
