Is this only an action that makes sense when the app is installed or at
any time? My guess is we should have a "connections" panel of some sort
that allows these to be toggled at a later date and perhaps an Android
style "this app is requesting these permissions" dialog when installing
(with the option of disabling them at that point).

Title:
Support for apps which do not automatically connect to slots
Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
With the addition of new interfaces there are some plugs which do not
automatically connect and require action from the user in order to be
connecte.
As an example, VLC doesn't not automatically connect to the camera
interface, but users may want to enable this, or maybe they dont.
Some design considerations:
* Do we want to ask users to toggle on/off connections they do/do not
want. i.e. a list of toggle buttons (what effect would this have on
the application, would it fail gracefully or just not work (in which
case the user could be made aware that it won't work without the
permissions).
vs
* Do we want just a single Yes/No question where it's all the
connections or none.
