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.

Current plan:
- snap plugin will tell G-S to add a "Configure" button (or similar name) for 
each installed snap beside the remove button.
- When clicked, this will get the snap plugin to launch an interface editor 
program (can't be included in the plugin because plugins don't do UI; can't be 
in GNOME Software core because functionality is not shared between plugins).

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1597314] Re: Support for apps which do not automatically connect to slots

[Robert Ancell]

GNOME Software upstream design is likely to end up with some
"permissions" data being shown in GNOME Software, but being controlled
from Control Centre. We can probably hook into the permissions code if
it is appropriate.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1597314] Re: Support for apps which do not automatically connect to slots

[Robert Ancell]

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).
