I guess the model for scope should be similar than the ones for apps: when installed, if the scope tries to reach the network for the first time, then we get the "allow <scope_name> to acess the network. You set it to yes and no. Similar behavior if the scope wants to access the GPS position and so on. Departments as well (and so new updates adding new sources) should follow the same realm.
Basically scopes would behave likes applications in that regard for the security policy. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity-scopes-api in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1422700 Title: 'Dash search' option makes no sense, and may be obsolete Status in the base for Ubuntu mobile products: New Status in Ubuntu UX bugs: Triaged Status in ubuntu-system-settings package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in unity-scopes-api package in Ubuntu: New Status in unity-scopes-shell package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: ubuntu-touch/stable/bq-aquaris #17 In system settings | Security & Privacy, there is a setting 'Dash Search', with the options 'phone only' and 'phone and internet'. This used to releate to whether remote searches were included by the managed dash when it searched the whole phone. It no longer does this, so this setting may be obsolete. Flipping it to phone only did not prevent scopes from searching the internet. Should this setting still exist?
