# setPermissions

The `setPermissions` command configures permissions for an application. While the `launchApp` command performs this action by default, you can use `setPermissions` at other points in a flow, such as before a deeplink.

{% hint style="info" %}
`setPermissions` is available on Android and iOS.

Maestro has no control over Chrome’s permissions.
