Easier upgrades: When you upgrade your extension, Chrome will not disable it for your users if the upgrade adds optional rather than required permissions.

Better information for users: An extension can explain why it needs a particular permission when the user enables the relevant feature.

BINDDEVICEADMIN is a permission that a DeviceAdminReceiver subclass must have. Then go into shortcuts, advanced and do the same. Go to compatibility uncheck 'run this program as administrator' then click change setting for all users buttons and uncheck the run program as admin again.

Better security: Extensions run with fewer permissions since users only enable permissions that are needed. If users do not enable the device admin app, it remains on the device. Go into the start menu, right click chrome then properties.

Simpler development: Required permissions are guaranteed to be present.

Fewer prompts: An extension can prompt the user once to accept all permissions.

Use optional permissions when they are needed for optional features in your extension.

Use required permissions when they are needed for your extension's basic functionality.

# Implementing optional permissions # Step 1: Decide which permissions are required and which are optionalĪn extension can declare both required and optional permissions.
