# Permission requests

Read the genuine operating-system permission prompt, confirm the requested capability and Foxora identity, grant the minimum access, and retest.

## Where this lives

Open **Settings → Permissions** before starting a computer-control task.

Computer Use lets Foxora observe the screen and operate pointer, keyboard, scrolling, and supported desktop applications under operating-system permissions.

> **Safety:** Keep financial, administrative, credential, destructive, and personally sensitive actions under direct human control.

## Steps

1. Open **Settings → Permissions** before starting a computer-control task.
2. Read the genuine operating-system permission prompt.
3. Confirm the requested capability and Foxora identity.
4. Grant the minimum access, and retest.
5. **Confirm the result.** Watch the Stage or screen, inspect the destination application, and confirm saved or submitted state directly.

## Choose the right path

- Use screenshots for observation-only work.
- Allow pointer and keyboard control for bounded interaction.
- Take over whenever authentication or ambiguity appears.


## Confirm it worked

- Watch the Stage or screen, inspect the destination application, and confirm saved or submitted state directly.
- The screen, command, file, run, or destination named in this guide reflects the expected state.
