Specification updated.
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AccountPrivileges?action=diff&rev2=20&rev1=19>
(This change also included part of the design for bug 1224756.)
The changes step by step:
A. "Other app access" is renamed to "App permissions".
B. Since "App permissions" is no longer "other", "Location" is included in "App
permissions".
C. "Location" also remains at the top level of "Security & Privacy", because
it's not *just* about app access to location. So you can get to that screen
from two places.
** Changed in: ubuntu-ux
Status: In Progress => Fix Committed
** Changed in: ubuntu-system-settings (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Triaged
** Description changed:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityAndPrivacySettings lists various privacy
settings for the phone. Location was one of the first designed and
implemented, but since then, 'Other app access' was added to accommodate
video and audio recording. First, 'other app access' is not clear-- if
anything, it should say 'other service access' because video and audio
recording represent services with trust store integration. Second, there
really isn't any reason why Location shouldn't be grouped with the other
trust-store-enabled services and it is awkward that it is separated out.
- While this requires design input, I suggest the following:
- - Security & Privacy
- - Services access
- - Camera
- - Location
- - Microphone (Note: currently 'Mic' is used, which should also be fixed)
+ <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityAndPrivacySettings#Phone>: "“Location”
+ should navigate to the “Location” screen. “App permissions” should
+ navigate to the “App permissions” screen."
- With this layout, we reduce the number of entries on the 'Security &
- Privacy' page and have one place for trust-store-enabled services. This
- allows us to add more trust-store-enabled services in the future.
-
- Marking High because it is user facing. Not adding rtm14 because it
- seems to me that this could be provided later (feel free to adjust).
+ <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AccountPrivileges#Phone>: "Except for Online
+ Accounts, which has its own screen, these access lists should be
+ summarized in the “App permissions” screen of System Settings ... the
+ item should go to a screen listing “Apps that have requested access to
+ your {property}:”, except for the “Location” item, which should go to
+ the same “Location” screen as its uncle item in “Security & Privacy”."
