# Dscout Scout app permissions

When you create an account on Dscout and start applying to missions, Dscout will automatically ask for your permission to access the following things as you use the Dscout app:

* Camera
* Location
* Media storage
* Microphone
* Notifications

You can deny Dscout access to any of these permissions, but the majority of them are necessary when participating in Dscout opportunities. The mobile app will continue to request your permission depending on what task you’re trying to complete within the Dscout mobile app.

You can also manage your app permissions manually within your mobile device’s native **Settings** app.

### Managing app permissions on Android devices

The following steps are a generalized approach to managing Dscout permissions on your mobile device:

1. Tap on your mobile device’s native **Settings** app.
2. Find **Apps & Notifications** (please note\_:\_ the name of this section might not be the same for every Android device, but it should be similar).
3. Find the **Dscout mobile app** and tap on it.
4. You should be able to find **Permissions** and / or **Notifications**. Tap on it.
5. Tap **allow** or **toggle the button** for all the fields you want to give Dscout permission to. Check it out below.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://participanthelp.dscout.com/account-settings/app-settings/dscout-scout-app-permissions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
