How permissions work

When a website requests access to a device capability (like your camera or location), stagewise prompts you to allow or deny the request. Your choices are saved as per-site overrides.

Permission types

stagewise manages the following permission types:

Managing permissions

View site-specific overrides

The permissions page lists all sites that have saved permission choices. Each entry shows the origin (domain) and the permission status (Allowed or Blocked).

Change a permission

Click on a permission entry to toggle it between Allow and Block. Changes take effect immediately for future requests from that site.

Remove an override

Delete a saved permission choice to return to the default prompt behavior. The next time the site requests the permission, you’ll be prompted again.

Default behavior

For permissions without a saved override, stagewise shows a prompt when the site requests access. There are no global default “allow all” or “block all” toggles — each site must be configured individually.
