It seems like a bad idea to give all or nothing trust, and not along the lines of how APIs have managed choices in the past (quotas are increased when the limit is hit). I am not even sure how a UA would present such a choice to a user in a meaningful manner. I think a workflow such as the one quoted above by Maciej is a good direction, that gives a user a better chance of understanding the choice they are making. > > 2) We want the timing of the permission grant UI to be under application > control (as part of some kind of application user flow).
