@alvestrand re "request access", the operation's full name is ["request permission to use a *descriptor*"](https://w3c.github.io/permissions/#request-permission-to-use), and I think both "request permission" and "request access" are shorthands for that. (It'd be even more correct to say "request permission to use the feature described by a *descriptor*", if anyone really wants to spell it all out.) Getting permission to access/use a thing does not imply that this permission will be "stored". More precisely, a site getting permission or access in one realm/tab/whatever should not imply that the site will have permission/access in a different realm/tab/whatever. The Permissions spec used to assume that all permission was remembered across realms, and there might still be some remnants of that assumption, but I've been trying to excise it everywhere I've found it. Any permissions that *want* to force cross-realm grants have to say so explicitly, like https://w3c.github.io/permissions/#persistent-storage. Definitely let me know about, or send PRs to fix places in the Permissions spec that imply that granting permission always stores that permission. -- GitHub Notification of comment by jyasskin Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-main/issues/387#issuecomment-245069072 using your GitHub account
