Specification
https://wicg.github.io/PEPC/permission-element.html


Summary

Provide a new HTML element that interacts with the permission flow. The 
permission prompt is currently triggered directly from JS without the user 
agent having any strong signal of the user's intent. Having an in-content 
element that the user uses to trigger the permission flow allows for improved 
permission prompt UX for users as well as a recovery path from the "denied" 
permission state for sites. Explainer:

Risks




Interoperability and Compatibility

There is a risk that this feature fails to be adopted by other browsers. This 
can be mitigated by polyfilling some of the functionality to ensure the feature 
is not completely broken in non-implementing browsers.


Gecko: No signal

WebKit: No signal

Web developers: No signals

Other signals:


Ergonomics

This feature will likely be used in tandem with the Permissions API 
(https://www.w3.org/TR/permissions/) which is already supported. The 
Permissions API runs async. No foreseen ergonomics risks.



Activation

A polyfill can help developers use this feature without risking broken 
functionality on non-supporting browsers.



Security

WebView application risks

Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it 
has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?

None




Goals for experimentation




Reason this experiment is being extended

The OT originally spans from 126-131, we would like to extend it starting from 
132-134 (inclusive), as there is new functionality being added to the existing 
trial to support the addition of support for geolocation permission 
(<permission type=”geolocation”>), as well as to give additional partners 
chances to experiment with the existing <permission> element OT support for 
camera & mic permission types. The new functionality will not be ready for OT 
until the stable release of 132.



Reason this experiment is being extended

PEPC is being introduced on Android as well in M134 and we wish to allow 
developers time to experiment with the feature on a mobile platform where the 
overall UX can be quite different and users interact with certain permissions 
differently. Additionally there are still open questions around the markup of 
the element and whether it should be a void element vs allowing contents, and 
we would like to further explore options in this space before committing to one 
particular solution.



Ongoing technical constraints

None



Debuggability

None



Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, 
ChromeOS, Android, and Android WebView)?
No
The Permission Element is not supported on Android WebView as it permission 
manager support to actually function and the WebView permission manager defers 
most permission decisions to the embedder.



Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests?
Yes
