6.1.1. How to Manage App's Permissions 
OpenScape Mobile Pro requires access to certain parts of your Android device to
work properly, such as your phone status or microphone, but it needs your permission
before doing so. When the app wants to use a permission for the first time, it will
pop
up a request message, and you can allow or deny the permission at that time. You can
manage your app's permissions later if you change your mind.
You can view and manage
your app's permissions directly from OpenScape Mobile Pro or from your device's
Settings app. You can do this even if you are not signed in to the app.
The
following permissions are available:
-
Phone state (Required): Allows the app to access the phone for making calls.
-
Microphone (Required): Allows the app to access the microphone for calls.
- Location: Allows the app to access your location. If this permission is not granted, active calls may drop during network changes.
- Camera: Allows the app to access the camera for calls. An application restart is required for the permission to take effect, if application is already on.
- Bluetooth devices: Allows the app to use nearby Bluetooth devices to control calls.
- Contacts: Allows the app to access your device contacts list.
- Draw over other apps: Allows the app to display on top of other apps that you are using.
INFO:
If any of the required permissions is denied, you cannot sign in to OpenScape
Mobile Pro.
